Secure digital images is very important for today's scenario which combining methods and techniques coming from cryptography and image processing. Visual Cryptography Scheme (VCS) is a new kind of cryptography technique which allows visual information (e.g. printed text, picture etc.) to be encrypted in such a way that decryption can be performed by the human visual system without any complex computation on computers. Here we proposed a Visual Cryptography Scheme based on image division of grey

In this paper we represent the (k, n) Threshold Visual Cryptography Scheme in which the size of generated Shares as well as Recovered Image have same as the Secret Image rather than other VCS where k is the threshold value. Also we proposed the new technique to generate the Shadow Assignment Matrix with the help of Genetic Algorithm (GA). This Shadow Assignment Matrix helped us to distribute the Temporary shadow to the users according to their occurrence of 1's in a row.
