Online communication has become quicker and simpler as a result of the growth of the internet and the advancement in technology. People are using multimedia data in almost all spheres of life. The amount of multimedia data transmitted has been increasing at a massive rate. Multimedia data delivered over open and unreliable networks are susceptible to unauthorized access. As a result, a cryptographic standard is needed to securely and efficiently transmit multimedia data such as images over the networks. This study uses cellular automata and an XOR-based continuous tone MSS approach to create an image encryption method. The suggested approach has eliminated VC’s drawbacks, including secret/share quantity constraints, unpredictable share patterns, codebook requirements, and pixel extension in shares and recovered secret pictures. The recommended approach uses an (n,n) multi-secret sharing system that can send n secret photos simultaneously. At the time of encoding, the master share overcomes been made using the secret key, and it may be successfully retrieved when decoding using a comparable secret key. The exploratory results and security examination shows the proficiency of the given approach. The complexity of the proposed approach can be adjusted by using the different combinations of cellular automata rules.
