We present a two-in-one visual cryptography (VC) scheme that not only shares an image of moderate confidentiality between two noisy transparencies, but also hides in these two transparencies a more confidential text file describing the image. None of the transparencies alone can reveal anything about the image or text. Later, people can view the image by simply stacking the two transparencies; on the other hand, after certain simple computations, the more confidential text data can also be extracted. We also introduce an alternative version in which the decoding of both the image and text requires no computer.

The paper presents a visual secret sharing scheme, which not only shares an image of moderate confidentiality between two noisy transparencies, but also hides in these two transparencies another secret image. None of the transparencies alone can reveal anything about the image. Later, people can view the image by simply stacking the two transparencies; on the other hand, after change the stack location the other secret image can also be extracted. Different from traditional VC with shift style, the method have no size expansion and can recover original lossless with computation fast. The method also solves the difficult to align two transparencies.

Secret image sharing is a sharing method to transmit and store images with fault tolerance property. The paper proposes a recursive method to extend conventional secret image sharing more general in application which is named multi-layer secret image sharing. It enables users more controllability to secret images than conventional secret image sharing. Moreover, a useful application is also introduced in this paper.
