Co-cheating Prevention Visual Cryptography Scheme Based on Random Numbers
Abstract
A novel co-cheating prevention visual cryptography scheme (VCS) based on random numbers is proposed in this paper. Shares are created by random numbers, and the (n, n) secret sharing algorithm is implemented through special algorithms in the scheme. Furthermore, the scheme is expanded to general access structure using cumulative array. Theoretical proof and experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme not only prevents co-cheating well, but also reduces storing costs, as there is no pixel expansion. Moreover, it alleviates participant’s extra burden, since verification shares are unnecessary.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:
We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
