Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention are detection systems and methods for detecting call provenance based on call audio. An exemplary embodiment of the detection system can comprise a characterization unit, a labeling unit, and an identification unit. The characterization unit can extract various characteristics of networks through which a call traversed, based on call audio. The labeling unit can be trained on prior call data and can identify one or more codecs used to encode the call, based on the call audio. The identification unit can utilize the characteristics of traversed networks and the identified codecs, and based on this information, the identification unit can provide a provenance fingerprint for the call. Based on the call provenance fingerprint, the detection system can identify, verify, or provide forensic information about a call audio source.

53. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing-device, call audio of a first call between a first device and a second device; extracting, by the computing-device, one or more characteristics from the first call, wherein the one or more characteristics exclude metadata; identifying, by the computing-device, at least a portion of a transmission path of the first call based on the one or more characteristics extracted from the call audio of the first call; and identifying, by the computing-device, a geography associated with the first call based on the one or more characteristics extracted from the call audio of the first call. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)
