Title: Tampering detection and location identification of digital audio recordings

Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting a tampering and identifying a location of a digital recording are provided. A frequency sequence and a phase angle sequence may be extracted from the digital recording. A portion of the frequency sequence may be matched to one of a plurality of reference frequency sequences, and a portion of the phase angle sequence may be matched to one of a plurality of reference phase angle sequences. Tampering of the digital recording may be detected when the frequency and phase sequences differ from the matched reference sequences. Moreover, a noise sequence may be extracted from the extracted frequency sequence. A location of the digital recording may be identified by matching the noise sequence to one of a plurality of noise sequences of the plurality of reference frequency sequences.
