Abstract
In this paper, we propose new uses of visual secret sharing schemes. That is, we use visual secret sharing schemes to limit the space from which one can see the decoded image. (We call this scheme limiting the visible space visual secret sharing schemes (LVSVSS).) We investigate the visibility of the decoded image when the viewpoint is changed, and categorize the space where the viewpoint belongs according to the visibility. Finally, we consider the application of LVSVSS to human identification, and propose a secure human identification scheme. The proposed human identification scheme is secure against peeping, and can detect simple fake terminals. Moreover, it can be actualized easily at a small cost.
