Abstract
Visual cryptography is a method offering a plan which uses pictures circulated as shares in such a way that when the shares are stacked, a sensitive or secrete image is uncovered. According to extended visual cryptography, the offer pictures are built to hold the scattered images together, simultaneously opening a way to assist biometric security and visual cryptography methods. In this paper, we entail a proposal for halftone pictures that beautify the nature of the shares to come about from secrete image and to regain the secret picture in an extended visual cryptography plan for which the figure size of the secret pictures and the reconstructed picture by stacking shares is similar with respect to the first halftone secret picture. The ensuing plan upholds the ideal security of the first developed visual cryptography approach. This process includes 2 × 2 block replacement for generating shares from secrete image.
