Abstract

In this paper, we propose an innovative scheme, namely the scalable secret image sharing scheme, for sharing an image O among n participants such that the clarity of the reconstructed image (i.e., the amount of information therein) scales with proportion with the number of the participants. The proposed scheme encodes O into n shadow images that exhibit the following features: (a) each shadow image reveals no information about O, (b) each shadow image is only half the size of O, (c) any k (2=
