Visual Cryptography for Image Processing and Security: Theory Methods and Applications

Visual Cryptography for Image Processing and Security: Theory, Methods, and Applications Feng Liu, Wei Qi Yan (auth.)
This unique book describes the fundamental concepts, theories and practice of visual cryptography. The design, construction, analysis, and application of visual cryptography schemes (VCSs) are discussed in detail. Original, cutting-edge research is presented on probabilistic, size invariant, threshold, concolorous, and cheating immune VCS. Features: provides a thorough introduction to the field; examines various common problems in visual cryptography, including the alignment, flipping, cheating, distortion, and thin line problems; reviews a range of VCSs, including XOR-based visual cryptography and security enriched VCS; describes different methods for presenting color content using visual cryptographic techniques; covers such applications of visual cryptography as watermarking, resolution variant VCS, and multiple resolution VCS. This logically-structured and comprehensive work will serve as a helpful reference for all researchers and students interested in document authentication and cryptography. Categories:
