Hey! You Photographed My Screen without Approved: A Practical Screen Content Protection Scheme Based on Visual Cryptography

Abstract

Nowadays , with the continuous development of digital media, electronic screens have become the most direct tool for people to interact with information. Various styles of electronic screens provide vivid information exchange methods for people's lives, and at the same time make information leakage more likely to happen. Electronic screens are susceptible to stealing photographs when sharing information, which leads to information leakage and security issues. Under the unavoidable situation of such leaks, various protection schemes have been proposed before, but these schemes cannot effectively protect the screen content. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an effective a screen content protection scheme, based on Visual Cryptography(VC) for image encryption, combined with Scale-Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) to deal with screen stealing scenes. In addition, our experiments show that our scheme is superior to existing schemes in terms of convenience and security.
