GPGPU-based randomized visual secret sharing (GRVSS) for grayscale and colour images
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Holla, R.; Mhala, N.C.; Pais, A.R.
Visual Secret Sharing (VSS) is a technique used for sharing secret images between users. The existing VSS schemes reconstruct the original secret image as a halftone image with only a 50% contrast. The Randomized Visual Secret Sharing (RVSS) scheme overcomes the disadvantages of existing VSS schemes. Although RVSS extracts the secret image with better contrast, it is computationally expensive. This paper proposes a General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU)-based Randomized Visual Secret Sharing (GRVSS) technique that leverages data parallelism in the RVSS pipeline. The performance of the GRVSS is compared with the RVSS in a generic and PARAM Shavak supercomputer architecture. The GRVSS outperforms the RVSS in both architectures. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
