A recent publication introduced a Visual Crypto (VC) system, based on the polarisation of light. This VC system has goodresolution, contrast and colour properties.Mathematically, the VC system is described by the XOR operation (modulo two addition). In this paper we investigate Threshold Visual Secret Sharing schemes associated to XOR-based VC systems. Firstly, we show thatnout ofnschemes with optimal resolution and contrast exist, and that (2,n) schemes are equivalent to binary codes. It turns out that these schemes have much better resolution than their OR-based counterparts. Secondly, we provide two explicit constructions for generalkout ofnschemes. Finally, we derive bounds on the contrast and resolution of XOR-based schemes. It follows from these bounds that fork<n, the contrast is strictly smaller than one. Moreover, the bounds imply that XOR-basedkout ofnschemes for evenkare fundamentally different from those for oddk.
