Abstract

Based on the theoretic research we conducted, in this chapter, we introduce the various applications of visual cryptography. The typical applications of visual cryptography include watermarking, resolution variant visual cryptography, multiple resolution visual cryptography scheme, etc. We hope the simple and effective encryption and decryption techniques of visual cryptography could be applied to our ordinary life.
