The quantum secure multiparty computation is one of the important properties of secure quantum communication. In this paper, we propose a quantum secure multiparty summation (QSMS) protocol based on (t, n) threshold approach, which can be used in many complex quantum operations. To make this protocol secure and realistic, we combine both the classical and quantum phenomena. The existing protocols have some security and efficiency issues because they use (n, n) threshold approach, where all the honest players need to perform the quantum multiparty summation protocol. We however use a (t, n) threshold approach, where only t honest players need to compute the quantum summation protocol. Compared to other protocols our proposed protocol is more cost-effective, realistic, and secure. We also simulate it using the IBM corporation's online quantum computer, or quantum experience.
One of the key characteristics of secure quantum communication is quantum secure multiparty computation. In this paper, we propose a quantum secure multiparty summation (QSMS) protocol that can be applied to many complex quantum operations. It is based on the
(t,n) threshold approach. We combine the classical and quantum phenomena to make this protocol realistic and secure. Because the current protocols employ the
(n,n) threshold approach, which requires all honest players to execute the quantum multiparty summation protocol, they have certain security and efficiency problems. However, we employ a
(t,n) threshold approach, which requires the quantum summation protocol to be computed only by
t honest players. Our suggested protocol is more economical, practical, and secure than alternative protocols.
We propose a class of n-variable Boolean functions which can be used to implement quantum secure multiparty computation. We also give an implementation of a special quantum secure multiparty computation protocol. An advantage of our protocol is that only 1 qubit is needed to compute the n-tuple pairwise and function, which is more efficient comparing with previous protocols. We demonstrate our protocol on the IBM quantum cloud platform, with a probability of correct output as high as 94.63%. Therefore, our protocol presents a promising generalization in realization of various secure multipartite quantum tasks.
