Visual secrete sharing (VSS) is an encryption technique that utilizes human visual system in the recovering of the secret image and it does not require any complex calculation. Pixel expansion has been a major issue of VSS schemes. A number…
Visual cryptography schemes have been introduced in 1994 by Naor and Shamir. Their idea was to encode a secret image into $n$ shadow images and to give exactly one such shadow image to each member of a group $P$ of $n$ persons. Whereas most…
An Extended Visual Cryptography Scheme (EVCS) was proposed by Ateniese et al. [3] to protect a binary secret image with meaningful (innocent-looking) shares. This is implemented by concatenating an extended matrix to each basis matrix. The…
Pixel expansion and the quality of the reconstructed secret image has been a major issue of visual secret sharing (VSS) schemes. A number of probabilistic VSS schemes with minimum pixel expansion have been proposed for black and white…
Two novel visual cryptography (VC) schemes are proposed by combining VC with single-pixel imaging (SPI) for the first time. It is pointed out that the overlapping of visual key images in VC is similar to the superposition of pixel…

In evolving access structures, the number of participants is countably infinite with no predetermined upper bound. While such structures have been realized in secret sharing, research in secret image sharing has primarily focused on visual…
Visual Cryptography is a special encryption technique to hide information in images, which divide secret image into multiple layers. Each layer holds some information. The receiver aligns the layers and the secret information is revealed by…
A visual cryptography scheme is a secret sharing scheme in which the secret information is an image and the shares are printed on transparencies, so that the secret image can be recovered by simply stacking the shares on top of each other.…

Visual cryptography aims to protect images against their possible illegitimate use. Thus, one can cipher, hash, or add watermarks for protecting copyright, among others. In this paper we provide a new solution to the problem of secret…
Novel idea of hierarchical visual cryptography is stated in this paper. The key concept of hierarchical visual cryptography is based upon visual cryptography. Visual cryptography encrypts secret information into two pieces called as shares.…
Perfect secret sharing scheme is a method of distribute a secret information $s$ among participants such that only predefined coalitions, called qualified subsets of the participants can recover the secret, whereas any other coalitions, the…
Visual cryptography encrypts the secret image into $n$ shares (transparency) so that only stacking a qualified number of shares can recover the secret image by the human visual system while no information can be revealed without a large…
