Abstract
Visual secret sharing (VSS) has attracted considerable attention to scientists and engineers as another branch alongside conventional cryptography to protect the sensitive visual information from several rapacious behaviors. In the literature, there are a number of several techniques used to protect the visual information, among which traditional VSS and random grid (RG)-based VSS are the primary branches. In this letter, we show, by examples, the two means are equal. In addition, the color representation of traditional VSS and RG-based VSS found it different from digital applications like images. Based on the given examples, it is demonstrated that the color representation of the two means can be the same and confirm with digital processing applications.
