A survey paper on secret image sharing schemes

With the speedy progress of network technology and internet applications, protection of digitized data against unauthorized access and modification has become a paramount issue. In order to face this challenge, numerous secret image sharing schemes have been introduced. Secret image sharing scheme is a method used for safeguarding the sensitive digitized image against illegal copying and tempering. The secret image is divided into many random shares in such a way that each share does not reveal any information to the intruders. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey from over 100 papers which explains the new approaches and challenges. This paper also provides a comparative analysis of different methods based on different properties.
