Abstract

In a (t, s, k, n)-essential secret image sharing ESIS scheme, a secret image is shared into two kinds of shadows including s essential shadows and (n − s) non-essential shadows. When receiving at least k shadows containing at least t essential shadows, the secret image can be lossless revealed. In this paper, a preview-versioned style essential secret image sharing is proposed. When receiving at least t essential shadows, a previewed version of secret image can be revealed. It is reasonable that at least t essential shadows are entitled to see the rough version of secret image, when the total shadows are less than k.
