Development of Visual Cryptography Technique for Authentication Using Facial Images

Security in the real world is an important issue to be taken care and to be encountered with various aspects and preventive measures. In the present era, whole major security concerns is the protection of this multimedia web is coming closer from text data to multimedia data, one of the data. Image, which covers the highest percentage of the multimedia data, its protection is very important. These might include Military Secrets, Commercial Secrets and Information of individuals. This can be achieved by visual Cryptography. It is one kind of image encryption. Incurrent technology, most of visual cryptography areembedded a secret using multiple shares. Visual is secret sharing technique used in visual cryptography which divides the secret image into multiple shares and by superimposing those shares the original secret image is going to be revealed, but it create a threat when an intruder get shares with which the image is going to be decrypted easily. However in these project work, an extremely useful bitwise operation is perform on every pixel with the help of key. The key is provided by new concept of sterilization algorithm. Initially Red, Green and Blue channels get separated from image and are going to be encrypted on multiple levels using multiple shares, convert an image into unreadable format and by combining all the shares in proper sequence the original secret image revealed

Image Security using Visual Cryptography

Informations are being transferred through open channels and the security of those informations has been prime concerns. Apart from many conventional cryptographic schemes, visual cryptographic techniques have also been in use for data and information security. Visual cryptography is a secret sharing scheme as it breaks an original image into image shares such that, when the shares are stacked on one another, a hidden secret image is revealed. The Visual Cryptography Scheme is a secure method that encrypts a secret document or image by breaking it into image shares. A unique property of Visual Cryptography Scheme is that one can visually decode the secret image by superimposing shares without computation. Even to make the visual cryptography image shares more secure, public key encryption scheme is applied. Public key encryption technique makes image shares so secure that it becomes very hard for a third party to decode the secret image information without having required data that is a private key

Survey on Securing Medical Image Transmission using Visual Cryptography Techniques

Visual cryptography scheme is a cryptographic technique which allows visual information text or image to be encrypted in such a way that the decryption can be performed by the human visual system and without the aid of computers. It encodes the secret image into shares of different patterns. Visual Cryptography is done on black and white image as well as on color image. This paper includes the literature survey regarding Visual Cryptography techniques for secure medical image transmission

Survey on Biometric Image Sharing Using Cryptography and Diverse Image Media

Visual Secret Sharing Scheme is used to transmitting or delivering the secret images over the network. The VSS scheme has a major drawback that is it suffers from high transmission risk because the shares are like noise. As the shares are like noise that causes the attackers attention. In this paper we are using a natural-image based visual secret sharing (NVSS) scheme to reduce the transmission risk problem that occurs in VSS scheme. The NVSS scheme uses the natural images such as paintings, photographs etc as digital shares. As we are using the natural shares instead of noise like shares which reduces the transmission risk to certain limit. This scheme also uses the different media to transmit the shares

Visual Cryptography in Biometrics Passport

Every human being is unique in their nature such as traits and physical symptoms so computer science is using the biometric f or perfect identification within large database. Visual cryptography scheme is a cryptographic technique, which allows visual information e.g. printed text, handwritten notes, and picture to be encrypted in such a way that the decryption can be performed by the human visual system, without the aid of computers. Biometric passport is a smart card technology product created by use of biometric data and computer chip f or authenticate identification of citizen of particular country. Current passport has certain shortcoming. In the is method it is proposed to convert scan images of retina, fingerprint and face in secret image and meaningful shares by use of visual cryptography. In this method wi th use of Visual Cryptography three biometrics i.e . retina image, fingerprint image and fa ce image encrypted in two meaningful shares when these two share stacking on one another fingerprint image revealed and that can be verified with on the spot live fingerprint image for perfect identification accuracy

Two-out-of-two color matching based visual cryptography schemes

International audienceVisual cryptography which consists in sharing a secret message between transparencies has been extended to color prints. In this paper, we propose a new visual cryptography scheme based on color matching. The stacked printed media reveal a uniformly colored message decoded by the human visual system. In contrast with the previous color visual cryptography schemes, the proposed one enables to share images without pixel expansion and to detect a forgery as the color of the message is kept secret. In order to correctly print the colors on the media and to increase the security of the scheme, we use spectral models developed for color reproduction describing printed colors from an optical point of view

An Application of Haar Wavelet Decomposition in Video Frames Preservation in Association with Visual Cryptography

Visual cryptography is one of the techniques used to encode the video by separating the original video. The proposed Visual cryptography gives the show to the users how encryption and decryption can be done to the video. Waveletchange are to provide characteristic of multiple declarationand worldwide decomposition that are the important features for thevideo compression application. The privacy and security becomes the most significant issues since the multimedia is transmitted openly over the network. A new adapted Haar Wavelet is used to encrypt the full video in an capable protected manner, after encryption the frame will decomposes and audio send final uncompressed video
