Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A visual cryptography scheme (VCS) is a secret sharing scheme for digital images. In a VCS, two $n×m$ Boolean matrices, called basis matrices, are used to generate $n$ images, called shares, from a black-white secret image. Since $m$ subpixels in each share are generated from one pixel in a secret image, the $n$ shares become $m$ times larger than a secret image. Hence, minimization of $m$ is quite important. In this paper, we consider a VCS that enables secret sharing of $q$ multiple secret images under $q$ access structures. We give a construction of $2^q$ basis matrices with the minimum $m$. We solve a certain integer programming problem for the minimization of $m$. It is also shown that $2^q$ basis matrices can be explicitly constructed recursively for certain $q$ access structures which are closely related to a multipartite graph.
