Abstract

In this paper, a new perceptual secret sharing (PSS) scheme is developed based on Boolean operations and random grids. In the developed scheme, the secret image is shared among n shadows using (l, n, n) threshold scheme, while the restored secret image is restored from l out of n shadows. P(l, n, n) threshold is satisfied in this developed scheme, by acquiring this property no information recovery occurs when less than l shares are stacked, imperfect recovery occurs when more than l but less than n shares are presented and perfect recovery occurs when n shares are collected.
