Abstract:

Encrypted Image Sharing (SIS) scheme, which integrates the Cellular Automata algorithm to address potential security vulnerabilities in existing fractal sharing matrices, presents a comprehensive and innovative approach to enhancing the security of confidential information distribution. The Cellular Automata algorithm introduces a dynamic and rule-based computational paradigm, adding an extra layer of complexity and unpredictability to the fortification of secret data before distribution. This strategy not only provides robust protection against unauthorized access but also contributes to the adaptability and resilience of the scheme in the face of evolving cyber threats. In emphasizing a balanced approach between payload distribution efficiency and optimal visual quality, the scheme ensures practical applicability in critical domains such as medical imaging and secure document sharing. The incorporation of Cellular Automata not only enhances security but also introduces a versatile cryptographic technique that can be tailored to specific requirements and threat landscapes. The simplification of the authentication process is a noteworthy aspect of the proposed scheme, making it user?friendly and promoting legitimate contributor involvement in the collaborative reconstruction of secret images.

Key Words: Secret image sharing, fractal sharing matrices, Cellular Automata encryption.
