Abstract

Secret Image Sharing using Verifiable method has become an important field in cryptography in today’s world. Security is of main concern and verifiability has become a demand of this era in order to avoid cheating prevention and a new scheme of secret image sharing scheme for identification of the presence of cheater is has been analyzed and described. A method for ensuring integrity of secret image prior to its recovery is proposed. An secret image and verification image are used to create shares by ARGB to CMYK conversions which are sent via cover image for transmission. The shares created are meaningful therefore this method is able of identifying whether cheater exists or not in order to preserve the integrity of the image.
