Visual Secret sharing schemes (VSSS) and biometrics have been identified as the two most important aspects of digital security. VSSS uses the human visual system to perform the decryption. A VSSS allows confidential messages to be encrypted into k-out-of-n secret sharing schemes. Whenever the number of participants from the group (n) is greater than or equal to the threshold value (k), the confidential message can be obtained by these participants. VSSS is interesting because decryption can be done with no prior knowledge of cryptography and can be performed without any complex cryptographic Algorithms. Based on this study, a new approach to analyze VSSS that uses biometric approach is given in this paper.
