>
>In this talk we consider a new type of cryptographic scheme, which
>encodes visual information (printed text, handwritten notes, pictures,
>etc) in a perfectly secure way which can be decoded directly by the
>human visual system without any cryptographic computations or knowhow.
>We extend it into a visual variant of the k out of n secret sharing
>problem, and analyse the combinatorial aspects of such codes.
>
>Joint work with Moni Naor.
