Due to the rapid growth of the Internet, it is possible to distribute the digital content efficiently. However, the need for image data protection and secret communication technique is also on the rise because of an infringement of the copyright by malicious attackers. Shamir and Lin-Tsai proposed simple secret image encryption algorithms based on the principle of secret sharing, respectively. However, their secret sharing schemes have a serious problem which can be declined the image quality and it is possible for third party to know embed information. In this paper, we propose a new secret sharing scheme using gray code that can be increased the image quality and security. As a result of our experiment, the proposed scheme is not only shown of good image quality and but also provide enhanced security compare with Shamir and Lin-Tasi's schemes.
