A New Approach for Visual Cryptography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual cryptography is to encrypt a secret image into some shares (transparencies) such that any qualified subset of the shares can recover the secret “visually.” The conventional definition requires that the revealed secret images are always darker than the backgrounds. We observed that this is not necessary, in particular, for the textual images. In this paper, we proposed an improved definition for visual cryptography based on our observation, in which the revealed images may be darker or lighter than the backgrounds. We studied properties and obtained bounds for visual cryptography schemes based on the new definition. We proposed methods to construct visual cryptography schemes based on the new definition. The experiments showed that visual cryptography schemes based on our definition indeed have better pixel expansion in average.

On the Pixel Expansion of Hypergraph Access Structures in Visual Cryptography Schemes
In a visual cryptography scheme, a secret image is encoded into n shares, in the form of transparencies. The shares are then distributed to n participants. Qualified subsets of participants can recover the secret image by superimposing their transparencies, but non-qualified subsets of participants have no information about the secret image. Pixel expansion, which represents the number of subpi...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Differential Computation Analysis (DCA) on the withe-box cryptography algorithms
Advances in information and communication technologies lead to use of some new devices such as smart phones. The new devices provide more advantages for the adversaries hence with respect to them, one can define with-box cryptography. In this new model of cryptography, designers try to hide the key using as a kind of implementation. The Differential Computation Analysis (DCA) is a side channel ...

Visual cryptography is a method that makes use of the characteristics of human vision and it requires neither the knowledge of cryptography nor the complex calculations. This method was first proposed by Naor and Shamir, its implementation is simple, it has been extended to an secrect sharing (k, n) in which n shares are made from the image and they are distributed among n participants.

متن کاملMaximal Independent Sets for the Pixel Expansion of Graph Access Structure
Abstract : A visual cryptography scheme based on a given graph G is a method to distribute a secret image among the vertices of G, the participants, so that a subset of participants can recover the secret image if they contain an edge of G, by stacking their shares, otherwise they can obtain no information regarding the secret image. In this paper a maximal independent sets of the graph G was ...
