Identification of person or data using modified square blockwise approach

Abstract

Nowadays authentication is important to identify the originality of a person or document. Visual secret sharing scheme is one of the best methods to provide authentication without any complex computations. In this paper, we proposed novel method called modified square blockwise approach to generate shares. Here the personage photo or any biometric data can be used as an authenticated image. This approach will generate two shares, one share is printed on identity card and the other one is stored on database. To verify the originality of a document or a person, first receive the identity card and scan or take a photo of the share. Now this share is compared with the stored one, if it is reveal the authenticated image then it is accepted, otherwise simply rejected. This approach is used to authenticate any confidential data such as medical document, bank details and administration details also. Using this approach, we can restrict the use of confidential documents without knowing the originality of the document.
