Abstract
In the today’s scenario, the number of online song repositories such as iTunes, Hungama.com, etc. is increasing day-by-day. The reason for this can be attributed to the exponential growth in the Internet users in the past few years. These song repositories store huge number of songs (mostly in millions) and charge their users for listening and downloading them. With increased number of users requires more enhanced security measures to protect such vulnerable songs repository. Any breach in security of such song repositories would not only cause huge financial loss but also copyright infringement for the owners. Therefore, in this paper we have presented a novel and efficient approach for providing security and privacy to huge and vulnerable songs repository using visual cryptography. Presented approach not only provides confidentiality to the songs but also provides integrity verification with access control to the songs repository. We have also removed various basic security constraints of (2, 2) visual cryptography existed in most of the state of art approaches like meaningless pattern of the shares, explicit codebook requirement, contrast loss, lossy recovery etc which are eliminated in the proposed approach.
