Abstract

(k, n) threshold is a special case of the general access structure (GAS) in secret image sharing (SIS), therefore GAS is more extensive than (k, n) threshold. Most of conventional SIS, including visual secret sharing (VSS), polynomial-based SIS, linear congruence (LC)-based SIS, etc., were proposed with only (k, k) threshold or (k, n) threshold other than GAS. This article introduces a common GAS construction approach in SIS with on pixel expansion from existing (k, k) threshold or (k, n) threshold SIS. The authors input classic SIS methods to test the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed common GAS construction approach. Experiments are presented to indicate the efficiency of the approach by illustrations and analysis.
