Abstract

Differently from traditional secret sharing, progressive secret sharing can gain clearer recovered secret image with more shares. However, previous progressive visual secret sharing (PVSS) schemes with unexpanded shares are only for case (2, n) other than general threshold (case), which will restrict the application range. In this paper, a general threshold PVSS construction method from case (2, n) with unexpanded shares is proposed. It has the feature of (k, n) threshold with no pixel expansion, which could be loss-tolerant and control access for a wider application. Based on the proposed construction method, a new threshold PVSS scheme is constructed. Compared with relative approaches, the proposed scheme has improved performances.

Progressive Visual Cryptography with Unexpanded Meaningful Shares

The traditional k-out-of-n Visual Cryptography (VC) scheme is the conception of “all or nothing” for n participants to share a secret image. The original secret image can be visually revealed only when a subset of k or more shares are superimposed ...

ICUIMC '10: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Uniquitous Information Management and Communication

Visual secret sharing (VSS) schemes have been proposed by Naor and Shamir [1] in 1995. It encodes a binary secret image into several meaningless images called shares or transparencies. The secret image can be obtained by stacking the qualified set of ...
Generalized random grids-based threshold visual cryptography with meaningful shares

The meaningful share in visual cryptography (VC) is a desired feature because it can increase the efficiency of management and decrease the suspicion of secret image encryptions. Although the traditional user-friendly random grid (RG)-based VC can ...
