Abstract
Visual cryptography scheme (VCS) is an encryption technique that utilizes the human visual system in recovering of the secret image and does not require any cryptographic computation. Autostereogram is a single two dimensional image which becomes a virtual three dimensional image when viewed with proper eye convergence or divergence. Combing the two technologies via human vision, this paper presents a new scheme called (k, n)-VCS with autostereogram. In the scheme, a secret image is encrypted into n images called shares, each of which can function as an autostereogram. By stacking any k shares, the secret image is recovered visually without any equipment, whereas no secret information is obtained with less than k shares.
