A secret sharing scheme for secure transmission of color images

Secure image transmission is one of the area concerns for security in this world; weather the image having some text or some scenario information. In this paper based on secret image sharing and key safeguarding technique, an effective and generalized scheme of color image hiding is proposed by means of numerical computations. It is a matrix computation scheme which uses a concept of secret sharing and key safeguarding. (P) Random images are used as shares with the secret image to form a key by using deformation algorithm and to regenerate the secret image back reformation algorithm is used on the (Q) random images and key image. The regenerated secret color image is same as the original image and there is no information lost while recovering the image. This deformation and reformation algorithm reduces the drawbacks of key safe and secret sharing scheme and having its advantages.
