A secure scheme to share secret color images

The main goal of this work is to study how discrete dynamical systems can be used to design secret sharing schemes. Specifically, the proposed scheme permits to share secret color images, and it is based on bidimensional cellular automata. The main idea is to analyze how a simple reversible model of computation allows one to compute the shares and then using the reverse computation in order to recover the secret image. Moreover, the proposed scheme exhibits good statistical properties.
