Abstract

Standard Naor-Shamir visual cryptography scheme is modified in a way that allows sampling from all possible 16 two-by-two tiles for generating shares. Such a procedure makes shares not only looking random but simply being random in the statistical sense. Of course there is a price to pay in the form of slightly deteriorated quality of the reconstructed secret. In this paper we try to find a reasonable compromise between the randomness of shares and the quality of the secret reconstruction.
