Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

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.

Contraportada:

Visual cryptography is a secret sharing technique which allows the encryption of an image without requiring any complex computation or knowledge of cryptography.

This unique text/reference 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.

Topics and features:

• Provides a thorough introduction to the field of visual cryptography
• Examines various common problems in visual cryptography, including the alignment, flipping, cheating, distortion, and thin line problems
• Reviews a range of visual cryptography schemes, 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, including those involved in digital image processing, image watermarking, and media-based security technology.
