On (k, n) Visual Cryptography Scheme with t Essential Parties
2013
In visual cryptography schemes (VCS), we often denote the set of all parties by \(P=\{1,2,\cdots ,n\}\). Arumugam et al. proposed a \((k,n)\)-VCS with one essential party recently, in which only subset \(S\) of parties satisfying \(S\subseteq P\) and \(|S|\ge k\) and \(1\in S\) can recover the secret. In this paper, we extend Arumugam et al.’s idea and propose a \((k,n)\)-VCS with \(t\) essential parties, say \((k,n,t)\)-VCS for brevity, in which only subset \(S\) of parties satisfying \(S\subseteq P\) and \(|S|\ge k\) and \(\{1,2,\ldots ,t\}\in S\) can recover the secret. Furthermore, some bounds for the optimal pixel expansion and optimal relative contrast of \((k,n,t)\)-VCS are derived.
