Securing Visual Cryptographic shares using Public Key Encryption
Kulvinder Kochar Kaur, Vineeta Khemchandani · 2013
The Visual Cryptography Scheme is a secure method that encrypts a secret document or image by breaking it into shares. A distinctive property of Visual Cryptography Scheme is that one can visually decode the secret image by superimposing shares without computation. By taking the advantage of this property, third person can easily retrieve the secret image if shares are passing in sequence over the network. The project presents an approach for encrypting visual cryptographically generated image shares using Public Key Encryption. RSA algorithm is used for providing the double security of secret document. Thus secret share are not available in their actual form for any alteration by the adversaries who try to create fake shares. The scheme provides more secure secret shares that are robust against a number of attacks & the system provides a strong security for the handwritten text, images and printed documents over the public network.
