Extended capabilities for visual cryptography (Q1589430)

An extended visual cryptography scheme, for an access structure \((\Gamma_{Qual},\Gamma_{Forb})\) on a set of \(n\) participants, is a technique to encode \(n\) images in such a way that when we stack together the transparencies associated to participants in any set \(X \in \Gamma_{\text{Qual}}\) we get the secret message with no trace of the original images, but any \(X \in \Gamma_{\text{Forb}}\) has no information on the shared image. Moreover, after the original images are encoded they are still meaningful, that is, any user will recognize the image on his transparency.
