Abstract
In this paper, we propose a simple and user friendly visual secret sharing scheme based on binary image. The proposed scheme is a new information hiding method which uses only bit-wise exclusive-or (XOR) operation and NOT operation to share a secret binary image information in the user friendly binary images. The proposed scheme has the following merits: (1) It provides efficient embedding and reconstruction algorithms. (2) It provides lossless and perfect reconstruction of the secret binary image. (3) It provides the detection method of its own group by sharing the user friendly image. (4) It can share same sized secret image such as original cover image unlike previous methods.
