Embedded Extended Visual Cryptography Scheme for Color Image using ABC algorithm

Embedded Extended Visual Cryptography Scheme for Color Image using ABC algorithm Cryptography, nothing but the secret sharing of text. Similarly Visual Cryptography Scheme (VCS) is secret sharing of images. The extension of VCS is Embedded Extended Visual Cryptography. A secret image is divided into shares and stacking of the shares will reveal the secret image. The recovered secret image quality is less in terms of loss of resolution and contrast. In this paper we introduced the Embedded Extended Visual Cryptography Scheme for Color Image using Artificial Bee Colony algorithm, this can help to improve the visual quality of the recovered image.
