Visual Cryptography is a secure and unique image encryption technique which protects image based secret. In visual cryptography image is encrypted into shares and in decryption process all or some of shares are super imposed with each other to decrypt the original secret image. In this technique no complex computation is needed for decryption of secret image which is the best advantage of Visual Cryptography Scheme. In this report various types of visual cryptographic techniques are discussed from previous research area. In this proposed system (N, N) VCS is used for encryption. It takes color image as an input and extracts in R, G and B components. After that it generates Key-Mask using Key-Mask generation algorithm which XOR-ed with R, G and B components and gives the key shares. Further XOR operation of these key shares with key mask generates the color shares. In decryption process image is recovered by XOR operation between key mask and color shares.
