Abstract

We propose a new three-party quantum private comparison protocol using genuinely maximally entangled six-qubit states. In our protocol, three participants can determine whether their private information are equal or not without an external third party who helps compute the comparison result. At the same time the participants can preserve the privacy of their inputs, respectively. Our protocol does not need any unitary operations to encode information due to the excellent properties of genuinely maximally entangled six-qubit states. Additionally, the protocol uses one-step quantum transmission and it is congenitally free from Trojan horse attacks. We have also shown that our protocol is secure against outside and participant attacks in this paper.

Quantum Private Comparison of Equal Information Based on Highly Entangled Six-Qubit Genuine State

纪兆旭, 叶天语

Using the highly entangled six-qubit genuine state we present a quantum private comparison(QPC)protocol, which enables two users to compare the equality of two bits of their secrets in every round comparison with the assistance of a semi-honest third party(TP). The proposed protocol needs neither unitary operations nor quantum entanglement swapping technology, both of which may consume expensive quantum devices. Single particle measurements and Bell-basis measurements, which are easy to implement with current technologies, are employed by two users and TP in the proposed protocol, respectively. The proposed protocol can withstand all kinds of outside attacks and participant attacks. Moreover, none of information about the two users’ private secrets and the comparison result is leaked out to TP.

Secure Private Comparison of Equality using Quantum Resources

Tingting Wei, Cai Zhang

Abstract Private comparison of equality is an essential task in secure multiparty computation. In this paper, we investigate such a task in quantum settings. Particularly, we design a comparison protocol using quantum resources. The protocol allows three users to verify whether the private inputs of three users are identical and preserve their inputs’ privacy without an extra third party who can help the verifying process. The proposed protocol does not require unitary operations for the information encoding, which, to some extent, facilitates the protocol’s implementation. In addition, the Trojan horse attacks are invalid to the proposed protocol as it only employs one-step quantum transmissions. We also show that the presented protocol is secure against some well-known attacks.

Quantum Private Comparison Protocols With a Number of Multi-Particle Entangled States

Zhaoxu Ji, Huanguo Zhang, Houzhen Wang

Private comparison allows n(n ≥ 2) participants who do not trust each other to compare whether their secret data are the same, without leaking the secret data of their own. Quantum private comparison (QPC) uses quantum mechanics to accomplish the comparison. In this paper, we present a simple and effective method which can design QPC protocols based on multi-particle entangled states including the genuinely entangled five-qubit state, the generalized Brown state, the genuine six-qubit entangled state, etc. We take the Bell state and the genuinely entangled five-qubit state as examples, respectively, to present two QPC protocols, where a semi-honest third party who assists two participants in implementing the protocols is assumed. A key feature of our protocols is that quantum states are prepared by two participants rather than by the third party, which effectively prevents the third party from preparing fake quantum states, thus improving the security of the protocols. In addition, we use the entanglement properties of multi-particle entangled states and collaborative computing between participants for privacy protection, and we use QKD to ensure the security of the cooperative computing when two participants are in different locations. We show that the security of our protocols towards both outsider and insider attacks can be guaranteed.

Quantum private comparison with six-particle maximally entangled states

Qi Sun

A novel quantum private comparison (QPC) protocol with six-particle maximally entangled states is put forward, which can guarantee that the true content of secret messages from two users cannot be extracted by an illegal party. The entanglement correlation among different particles in one six-particle maximally entangled state is taken to realize the private comparison of secret messages from two users. Neither quantum entanglement swapping nor unitary operations are adopted. Third party (TP) only needs Bell basis measurements while two users only need Bell basis measurements and [Formula: see text] basis measurements. The proposed protocol has no security loophole for the outside attack and the participant attack.

A new quantum private comparison protocol

For two participants to compare the equality of their private information without revealing them, a new quantum private protocol with the help of semi-honest third party TP is proposed. Different from previous protocols, the four particle |Wf⟩ state and the |χ+⟩ state are utilized in this protocol as the carriers of quantum information and form the entanglement swapping as basic principle. The simple measurement of quantum states and exclusive-or operation are only required to conduct in this protocol. What’s more, this protocol can compare two bits of two participants’ private information in every comparison time. Meanwhile, it needs no unitary operation to fulfill this protocol. This protocol is feasible and efficient to execute through these aspects. In the end, the security of this protocol is analyzed at great length from two kinds of attacks including the outside attack and the participant attack. And the analysis result shows that this protocol can withstand various kinds of attacks and be secure to perform efficiently.
