Visual cryptography is a cryptographic technique which allows visual information i.e. pictures, text, etc. to be encrypted in such a way that decryption can be done by human visual system without the use of computers. Visual Cryptography is a visual secret sharing scheme, where an image was broken up into n shares. The individual with all the n shares only can decrypt the image, while any n-1 shares cannot reveal information about original image. Visual Cryptography uses two transparent images: One image contains random pixels, and Other image contains the secret information. Both the transparent images are required to reveal the information. Both the layers are to be printed onto a transparent sheet, which thus can be easily recognized by human eye.
Each pixel of the images is divided into smaller blocks.[same number of white and black blocks] either horizontally or vertically. If the pixel is divided into two, one is black and the other will be white one. If is divided into four, there will be two white and two black parts. The information pixel will be completely black, also called the overlayed version of pixels.
