Abstract
According to visual cryptography the decryption is performed by human visual system. It is well known that visual cryptography encryption process generates shares. Proposed method based on alignment of shares at the time of superimposition. Using these shares the source image can be recovered only if the shares are superimposed with proper predefined alignment. Proper alignment of these shares at the time of superimposition plays an important role in finding the source image. Here, we are proposing a new way of aligning the shares for getting the source image and this is the only way to obtaining the source image.
