Sharing multiple secrets in visual cryptography

The secret sharing schemes in conventional visual cryptography are characterized by encoding one shared secret into a set of random transparencies which reveal the secret to the human visual system when they are superimposed. In this paper, we propose a ...
New results on non-perfect sharing of multiple secrets

A non-perfect secret sharing scheme is a method to distribute a secret among a set of participants, in such a way that some qualified subsets of participants, pooling together their information, can reconstruct the secret, whereas, other subsets of ...
A novel multiple-level secret image sharing scheme

In this paper, a novel multiple-level secret image sharing scheme is proposed, which achieves the additional steganography, the authentication, and the scalable abilities. The key idea is that the secret image is revealed at different quality levels ...
