Total No. of copies = n+2;

(i.e. n = no: of students in the batch

department library = 1

Internal Guide=1

personal copy = 1)

1.5. Conclusion and future development

There should be a separate chapter devoted to this. Considerations of the implications and

meaning of the results. It should also contain suggestion for future work, or alternative

approaches/forms of investigation, hindsight, might have lead to an improved investigation. This

is often the weakest part of a dissertation. It must relate the findings of the work to previous

work (from the literature review). Show to what extent you have gone beyond previous work,

what contribution you have made and what are the limitations of your work.

ANNEXURE D

SYNOPSIS

Security has become an inseparable issue as information technology is ruling the world

now. Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques related aspects of Information

Security such as confidentiality, data security, entity authentication and data origin

authentication, but it is not the only means of providing information security, rather one of the

techniques. Visual cryptography is a new technique which provides information security which

uses simple algorithm unlike the complex, computationally intensive algorithms used in other

techniques like traditional cryptography. This technique allows Visual information (pictures,

text, etc) to be encrypted in such a way that their decryption can be performed by the human

visual system, without any complex cryptographic algorithms. This technique represents the

secret image by several different shares of binary images. It is hard to perceive any clues about a

secret image from individual shares. The secret message is revealed when parts or all of these

shares are aligned and stacked together. In this paper we provide an overview of the emerging

Visual Cryptography (VC) and related work which is based on the recovering of secret image. A

binary logo is used to represent the ownership of the host image and verifies the reliability of the

reconstructed image. The logo is used to generate shadows by visual cryptography algorithms.

An error correction-coding scheme is also used to create the appropriate shadow. The logo

extracted from the half-toned host image identifies the cheating types. Furthermore, the logo

recovers the reconstructed image when shadow is being cheated.
