Abstract:
This paper presents a simple approach for secret
sharing under the bitwise eXclusive-OR (XOR) framework. The
proposed method extends the effectiveness of Progressive Secret
Sharing (PSS) into the Friendly Secret Sharing (FSS). The PSS
produces a set of shared images in noisy-like form, while FSS
generates shared images into more-visually-friendly
appearance. The proposed method offers lossless ability in the
recovery result of secret image. At the same time, it shows
superiority compared to the former existing scheme in the secret
sharing task.
