In this paper, another construction of (k, n)-PVCS was proposed by extending the (n, k)-DVCS and the probabilistic VCS.
Abstract
Visual cryptography scheme (VCS) is a secure method that encrypts a secret image by subdividing it into shadow images Due to the nature of encryption VCS is categorized into two types: the deterministic VCS (DVCS) and the probabilistic VCS (PVCS) For the DVCS, we use m (known as the pixel expansion) subpixels to represent a secret pixel The PVCS uses only one subpixel to represent a secret pixel, while the quality of reconstructed image is degraded A well-known construction of (k, n)-PVCS is obtained from the (k, n)-DVCS In this paper, we show another construction of (k, n)-PVCS by extending the (k, k)-PVCS

Evolution of Visual Cryptography Basis Matrices with Binary Chromosomes

TL;DR: Genetic algorithms to evolve basis matrices striving for maximal contrast are proposed, encoded as binary chromosomes and an objective function is proposed to evaluate their respective fitness values.

A novel approach for (3, n)-threshold visual cryptography

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a novel design for (3, n)-threshold visual cryptography by using the theory of the combinatorics to achieve an excellent contrast (visual effects) in the stacked image.

AnimVSS: Frame-Based Visual Secret Sharing

TL;DR: This paper proposes a methodology to use random grid shadow images to encode series of frames comprising short animations, useful in situations when a mere static image is insufficient to convey a secret instruction.
