Abstract
As one of the most efficient multi-secret visual cryptography (MVC) schemes, the tagged visual cryptography (TVC) is capable of hiding tag images into randomly selected shares. However, the encoding processes of TVC and other MVC schemes bring distortion to shares, which definitely lowers the visual quality of the decoded secret image. This letter proposes an extended TVC scheme, named as lossless TVC (LTVC). Specifically, “lossless” means that the proposed LTVC scheme encodes the tag image without affecting the rebuilt secret image, i.e., the decoded secret image of LTVC has the same visual quality with that of the conventional VC scheme . Moreover, we propose the probabilistic LTVC (P-LTVC) to solve the potential security problem of LTVC. Finally, the superiority of the proposed scheme is experimentally verified.
