Abstract: Internet communication has become an integral part of the infrastructure of today’s world. The information communicated comes in numerous forms and is used in many applications. Such secrete communication ranges from the obvious cases of bank transfers, corporate communications, and credit card purchases on down to large percentage of everyday email. In reality the Internet is not a secure medium. We are suggesting Visual Cryptography approach which is simple, fast and provide privacy protection when sharing sensitive financial documents over the Internet. In Visual Cryptography financial document is represented as bit map file, and expands it into two or more encoded file shares. These shares can be transferred to the recipients via electronic mail or electronic file transfer process. These shares can be transferred to the recipients in stego image using Bit Plane Complexity Steganography technology via electronic mail or electronic file transfer process.
The Bit Plane Complexity Steganography technique allows hiding large data into cover image, which allows hiding large secret information into cover image. The use of Steganography for data transfer is added security during data transfer. Moreover, the final image can be obtained only when desired numbers of shares combined together at receiving side. The combined use of Visual Cryptography and BPCS Steganography provides added security to confidential documents during transfer over internet.[4]
