Abstract
In this paper, a general method of (k,n) threshold Reversible Absolute moment block truncation coding Visual Cryptography Scheme (RAVCS) is introduced for sharing a binary secret image into multiple absolute moment block truncation coding (AMBTC) shadows. A (k,k) RAVCS is firstly proposed to encode a secret by referencing one ABMTC image. Then, the proposed (k,k) RAVCS is adopted to share the same secret into multiple groups of shadows by referencing multiple images. Those multiple groups of shadows are distributed to participants according to a matrix generated by the proposed shadow distribution algorithms. When any k or more participants share their shadows, the secret image is revealed by OR or XOR decryption. Further, those AMBTC shadows can be losslessly reverted to their original forms. Sufficient theoretical analysis and extensive experimental results are provided in this paper, showing the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.
