摘要：The major problems of Visual Secret Sharing (VSS) are the pixel expansion and lossy recovery. The former creates large-sized shared images and makes their handling, storage, and speed transmission via networks challenging, whereas the latter leads to poor contrast of the recovered images. In addition, sharing a huge volume of images and transmitting the shared images through one less channel is a critical problem of VSS where any unauthenticated user can attack, discover the generated shares, and recover the secret image. In this paper, an efficient TKHC algorithm is proposed to augment the privacy and safety of the shared images. Moreover, the new TKHC-based VSS scheme is utilized to sharing a huge RGB and grayscale images which are subjected to be encrypted and decrypted by means of TKHC and providing strong security to transmit all the generated shares via one public channel. In comparison to the existing schemes, the proposed scheme shows significant improvement in encryption quality with lightweight computation cost. Furthermore, it withstands the known-plaintext and brute-force attacks and overall creates a balance between security, cost, and performance.
