Visual Cryptography and Its Applications
by Jonathan Weir, WeiQi Yan - BookBoon , 2012
Visual cryptography provides a technique by which one secret can be distributed into two or more shares. When the shares are xeroxed onto transparencies and then superimposed, the original secret can be discovered without computer participation.
