Extended Visual Cryptography Scheme for Secret Hiding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual Cryptography is based on cryptography where n images are encoded in a way that only the human visual system can decrypt the hidden message without any cryptographic computations when all shares are stacked together. This paper presents an improved algorithm based on Chang’s and Yu visual cryptography scheme for hiding a colored image into multiple colored cover images. This scheme achieves lossless recovery and reduces the noise in the cover images without adding any computational complexity.

Recursive Information Hiding in Visual Cryptography
Visual Cryptography is a secret sharing scheme that uses the human visual system to perform computations. This paper presents a recursive hiding scheme for 3 out of 5 secret sharing. The idea used is to hide smaller secrets in the shares of a larger secret without an expansion in the size of the latter.
متن کاملSecret Image Sharing System Using Meaningful Covering Shares
Visual Cryptography facilitates hiding a secret image into n number of shares distributed to n number of participants. This kind of scheme is very useful as the participants in such security systems need not know the cryptographic knowledge in order to recover the secret image from the shares. This phenomenon is known as VCS (Visual Cryptography Scheme). An extended VCS is the one which is capa...
متن کاملMeaningful Share Generation for Increased Number of Secrets in Visual Secret-Sharing Scheme
This paper presents a new scheme for hiding two halftone secret images into two meaningful shares created from halftone cover images. Meaningful shares are more desirable than noiselike meaningless shares in Visual Secret Sharing because they look natural and do not attract eavesdroppers’ attention. Previous works in the field focus on either increasing number of secrets or creating meaningful ...
متن کاملAn (3, 3)-Visual Secret Sharing Scheme for Hiding Three Secret Data
Visual cryptography is one kind of image encrypting. It is different from traditional cryptography, because it does not need complex computation to decrypt. In current technology, most of visual cryptography are embedded a secret using two shares is limited. This paper proposes a new approach of (3, 3)visual secret sharing scheme to embed more information and have more secure than traditional v...
متن کاملAn information hiding technique based on visual cryptography
Visual Cryptography was first proposed by Moni Naor and Adi Shamir in Eurocrypt’94. They demonstrated a (t, n) visual secret sharing scheme, in which visual information is encoded into n shares so that only someone with t or more than t shares could decrypt this visual information, while nothing would be revealed by any t-1 shares. Particularly, the decryption is performed directly by stacking ...
