Speech encryption using chaotic shift keying for secured speech communication
EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2017 This paper throws light on chaotic shift keying-based speech encryption and decryption method. In this method, the input speech signals are sampled and its values are segmented into four levels, namely L 0, L 1, L 2, and L 3. Each level of sampled values
