Visual cryptography for image privacy protection using diverse image media

Privacy of Images is of utmost concerned now a days. There are various methods for privacy protection of images. Visual cryptography can be used for imparting privacy to images. Images could be of different types such as fingerprint, signature image etc. which is usually used for authentication. The proposed system is used to maintain privacy of images by creating shares of the image using Visual cryptography and securely storing the shares in different databases in the form of QR code. Storing the shares in the form of QR code conceals the share and reduces the risk of eavesdropping during the transmission phase.
