Design and Implementation of a Novel Authentication Algorithm for Fool-Proof Lock-Key System Based On Visual Secret Sharing Scheme
The paper aims at creating an authentication algorithm using visual cryptography that creates a fool-proof lock-key mechanism wherein a lock can be opened by its paired key only and the key cannot be duplicated. In our proposed mechanism we uses a lock and a key, both is one part of given secret image. Every lock-key pair has one associated unique image. The lock is just like a safe door which has a memory and that can be used to transmit and receive signals like the key. Another part of the mechanism is that the lock and the key can change the pixel distribution of the some parts of the secret image when unauthorized access is going on.
Keywords: Fool-Proof Lock-Key, Visual Cryptography, Visual Secret Sharing Scheme (VSSS), Secret Image, Sub pixel
