Visual Cryptography for Image Processing and Security (2^nd Ed., Softcover reprint of the original 2nd ed. 2015)
Theory, Methods, and Applications

This book addresses the fundamental concepts in the theory 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. This updated second edition has also been expanded with new content on braille and 2D barcode authentication of visual cryptography shares. Features: contains review exercises at the end of each chapter, as well as a helpful glossary; 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.

Logically structured, systematically presenting the material in a simple-to-follow way Presents detailed derivations of the results, supported by numerous illustrations Updated new edition enhanced with review exercises and a glossary Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
