Abstract

In this paper, we consider a novel cryptographic scheme, called visual cryptography, which can decode cascaded images without any cryptographic computations. We extend this scheme into an application, in which the two shares of a secret image are embedded with a text like names of the participants to whom these shares belong, using image fusion technique. This makes the shares more meaningful. The paper discusses the results obtained. The scheme is perfectly secure and easy to implement.
