What isVisual Cryptography and Authorization?

• Visual Cryptography (VC)
• Encrypts secrete into a set of images (shares).
• Decrypts secrete using eyes.
• Visual Authorization (VA)
• An application of visual cryptography.
• Assign different access rights to users.
• Authorizing using eyes.

5
The Basic Concept of VC
The (2, 2) access scheme.

The Shares Produced by NN
We get shares after the NN settles down.
