Abstract

Everything goes to the fact that our communication with technology will soon become almost exclusively oral. It is natural for a person to ask for something out loud and hear the answer: see how children are at ease with voice assistants. However, with new technologies - and voice control is no exception - new threats are emerging. Cybersecurity researchers tirelessly seek them out so that device manufacturers can secure their creations before potential threats turn into real attacks. However, in this paper we are going to talk about different voice attacks, which so far will hardly be able to find practical application, but the protection against which should be thought over now.
