This document proposes a variable length key-based visual cryptography scheme for encrypting color images. It involves encrypting the original image using a variable length symmetric key, generating shares of the encrypted image using random numbers, and decrypting the shares by stacking a minimum number of shares and applying the same encryption key. The proposed scheme aims to improve security over simple visual cryptography by using an encryption key and random number-based share generation, making the shares and encrypted image different from the original image. It is described as having less complex share generation than other techniques while providing security through the use of encryption and a variable length key.
