Error Tolerance Bound in QKD-Based Quantum Private Query

Chun‐Yan Wei, Xiao‐Qiu Cai, Tian‐Yin Wang +3 more

Most existing quantum private query (QPQ) protocols can hardly work in the presence of noise. The user Alice may obtain a false database item in noisy environments and both participants may cheat under the disguise of noise, so dealing with the noise needs an overall consideration of error correction, user privacy and database security. However, the only two existing protocols aiming to correct errors in QPQ lack such an overall consideration (at least one party's privacy can be revealed), and they did not estimate what extent of errors can be tolerated (actually, noise is seldom discussed in quantum two-party secure computations, and to the best of our knowledge, relevant bounds on tolerable errors remain unattainable so far). To solve this problem, we first exemplify how one participant reveals the other party's privacy in the existing QPQ protocols aiming to correct errors. Then we propose a practical protocol which can really work via noisy channel, that is, the error rate of the retrieved database item is reduced significantly and both parties' privacy are well protected. Besides, we deduce that the final error rate, user privacy and database security are pairwise in a “trade-off” relationship. By balancing them according to the required level of security and reliability, we obtain an upper bound on tolerable errors.

A Quantum Private Query Protocol for Enhancing both User and Database Privacy*

Yi‐Hua Zhou, Xuewei Bai, Lei-Lei Li +2 more

Abstract In order to protect the privacy of query user and database, some QKD-based quantum private query (QPQ) protocols were proposed. Unfortunately some of them cannot resist internal attack from database perfectly; some others can ensure better user privacy but require a reduction of database privacy. In this paper, a novel two-way QPQ protocol is proposed to ensure the privacy of both sides of communication. In our protocol, user makes initial quantum states and derives the key bit by comparing initial quantum state and outcome state returned from database by ctrl or shift mode instead of announcing two non-orthogonal qubits as others which may leak part secret information. In this way, not only the privacy of database be ensured but also user privacy is strengthened. Furthermore, our protocol can also realize the security of loss-tolerance, cheat-sensitive, and resisting JM attack etc.
