Secure Audio Transmission Over Wireless Uncorrelated Rayleigh Fading Channel

Audio communications and computer networking play essential roles in our daily lives, including many domains with different scopes. Developments in these technologies are quick. In consequence, there is a dire need to secure these technologies up to date. This paper presents an efficient model for secure audio signal transmission over the wireless noisy uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channel. Also, the performance of the utilized multiple secret keys-based audio cryptosystem is analyzed in different transformation domains. The discrete cosine transform (DCT), the discrete sine transform (DST), and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are investigated in the utilized multiple secret key-based audio cryptosystem. Simulation results show consistent results with the wireless noisy channel. The performance of the proposed multiple secret keys-based audio cryptosystem can be ranked concerning the employed domain as DWT, DCT, and DST transform techniques. The simulation experiments proved that the presented multiple secret keys-based audio cryptosystem for audio signals transmitted over the wireless noisy uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channel achieves reliable and secure wireless link utilizing combined multi security layers.
