Introduction
Data Security and Authentication plays a vital role in any field.

Increase in hacking efficiency is challenging the existing

security algorithms

So many technologies are emerging to provide high data security and authentication

Visual Cryptography

Cryptography is a technique which encrypts a plain text to a cipher text(of unknown format) using a key which

will be transmitted via 3rd party.

Visual Cryptography is cryptographic technique which encrypts an visual information (pictures ,text etc).

Pre-Processing
Input image is converted to Grey scale image is and then global thresholded.

Sharing
The pre-processed image is divided into 2 different shares based on a pre-defined algorithm

The 2 shares are appended with 2 different

matrices based on the intensity value(0/1) in the

original pixel

S1

Input Image

if image(i,j) is 1 set share1=s0 set share2=s0 else set share1=s0 set share2=s1

Stacking

Stacking is a procedure of decoding the original image by overlapping the shares.

Two shares are overlapped by using OR operation on the binary images ( share 1 and share 2)

Stacking

Post processing
Morphological closing is done on the stacked image and the resultant image is passed through a median filter to get

the original image

Correlation
Stage that provides Authentication Stacked image and original image are correlated for

authentication
Authentication will succeed for a higher correlation coefficient , if not fails.

Conclusions

An efficient way for authentication check in core banking applications.

Can also be used to defense purpose, by encrypting hand

written documents to binary images.
