A novel model for encryption of Telugu text using visual cryptography scheme

Abstract

This article presents a novel methodology of a visual cryptographic system based on Telugu Text. Visual Cryptography concerns with the methodology of hiding a secret message in n shares such that each individual receives one share and only the authorized person can identify the secret messages after superimposing one share upon the other. Many techniques are proposed in literature where in Rotation Visual Cryptography the underlying message of hiding is done by rotating the shares at different angles or directions. The proposed sliding scheme reveals the information by horizontal sliding of a share in downward direction by an angle of 180°. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
