Introduction
VISUAL Cryptography is a technique which

was proposed by Naor and Shamir.

A secret image can be encrypted as

different share images printed on transparencies, which are then distributed to n- participants.
By stacking transparencies directly, the

secret images can be revealed.

Problem Statement
We propose a scheme in which
Pixel reduction which is a problem in conventional VC. Additional information in the form of tag . Cover images for distinguishing the shares from noise

images.

Encoding: Image is split into 2 shares with an increase of 2 times Decoding stacking of tranparenices

1.3 Basic Vcs with 2 out of 3

Encoding: Image is split into 3 shares with an increase of 2 times Decoding stacking of any 2 tranparenices out of 3

Method
Basic vcs technique

Advantage

User can encrypt the image without any computational device Pixel increases four times the original image.

Disadvantage

Module 2
2.1 Using tag image

Method
Subliminal channel

By using this method we can add tag to original image this reveals extra information regarding original image

Module 3
3.1 Using Cover image Encoding : secret image is recorded in the shares and the cover is stamped on each share Decoding: overlapping of shares

Conclusion
Module 1 is about basic vc schemes,this has pixel

expansion high.
Module 2 is using tag images it reveals the secret

image.

Module 3 is using cover image to reveal the secret

image with non-pixel expansion.

Module 4 is using tag image and cover image to reveal

the secret image with non-pixel expansion and high contrast.
