A Verifiable Visual Cryptography Scheme

Visual cryptography (VC) is widely used in secret communications without any computations. The past schemes rarely focused on the authentication issue before reconstructing the decrypted image. This paper provided an authentication mechanism for VC and the experiments confirmed its feasibility.
