Threshold Quantum Secret Sharing of Secure Direct Communication

Abstract

We propose a (t, n)-threshold quantum secret sharing protocol of secure direct communication following some ideas of Zhang's protocol [Phys. Lett. A 342 (2005) 60] and Tokunaga et al.'s protocol [Phys. Rev. A 71 (2005) 012314]. The sender distributes the classical secret shares to his or her n agents and each agent owns a secret share in advance. The sender's secure direct communication message can be extracted by an agent subset by collaboration in such a way that at least t or more agents can obtain the secret message with the mutual assistances but any t - 1 or fewer agents cannot. In contrast to the previous multiparty quantum secret sharing protocols in which the sender's secret message can be recovered only if all the agents collaborate, our protocol is more practical and more flexible.

THRESHOLD MULTIPARTY QUANTUM-INFORMATION SPLITTING VIA QUANTUM CHANNEL ENCRYPTION

Yu‐Guang Yang, Qiaoyan Wen

We propose a (t, n)-threshold multiparty quantum-information splitting protocol following some ideas of the standard teleportation protocol [C. H. Bennett, G. Brassard, C. Crpeau, R. Jozsa, A. Peres and W. K. Wootters, Phys. Rev. Lett.70 (1993) 1895] and Tokunaga et al.'s protocol [Y. Tokunaga, T. Okamoto and N. Imoto, Phys. Rev. A71 (2005) 012314]. The sender distributes the classical shared keys to his or her n agents and each agent owns a secret key in advance. The sender's quantum information can be extracted by an agent subset by collaboration in such a way that at least t or more agents can get the quantum information with the mutual assistances but any t - 1 or fewer agents cannot. In contrast to the previous multiparty quantum-information splitting protocols in which the sender's quantum information can be recovered only if all the agents collaborate, our protocol is more practical and more flexible.

Multiparty quantum secret sharing

Zhanjun Zhang, Yong Li, Zhong‐Xiao Man

Based on a quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol [Phys. Rev. A 69 052319 (2004)], we propose a $(n,n)$-threshold scheme of multiparty quantum secret sharing of classical messages (QSSCM) using only single photons. We take advantage of this multiparty QSSCM scheme to establish a scheme of multiparty secret sharing of quantum information (SSQI), in which only all quantum information receivers collaborate can the original qubit be reconstructed. A general idea is also proposed for constructing multiparty SSQI schemes from any QSSCM scheme.

Efficient multiparty quantum secret sharing of secure direct communication

Jian Wang, Quan Zhang, Chaojing Tang

In this paper, we present an (n, n) threshold quantum secret sharing scheme of secure direct communication using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state. The present scheme is efficient in that all the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states used in the quantum secret sharing scheme are used to generate shared secret messages except those chosen for checking eavesdropper. In our scheme, the measuring basis of communication parties is invariable and the classical information used to check eavesdropping needs only the results of measurements of the communication parties. Another nice feature of our scheme is that the sender transmit her secret messages to the receivers directly and the receivers recover the sender's secret by combining their results, different from the QSS scheme whose object is essentially to allow a sender to establish a shared key with the receivers. This feature of our scheme is similar to that of quantum secret direct communication.

Three-party quantum secret sharing of secure direct communication based on χ-type entangled states

Yu‐Guang Yang, Weifeng Cao, Wen Qiao-yan

Based on χ-type entangled states and the two-step protocol [Deng F G, Long G L and Liu X S 2003 Phys. Rev. A 68 042317], a quantum secret sharing protocol of secure direct communication based on χ-type entangled states |χ 00 ⟩ 3214 is proposed. Using some interesting entanglement properties of this state, the agent entirety can directly obtain the secret message from the message sender only if they collaborate together. The security of the scheme is also discussed.

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Secure Direct Communication Using Teleportation

Jian Wang, Quan Zhang, Chaojing Tang

We present an ( n , n ) threshold quantum secret sharing scheme of secure direct communication using Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state and teleportation. After ensuring the security of the quantum channel, the sender encodes the secret message directly on a sequence of particle states and transmits it to the receivers by teleportation. The receivers can recover the secret message by combining their measurement results with the sender's result. If a perfect quantum channel is used, our scheme is completely secure because the transmitting particle sequence does not carry the secret message. We also show our scheme is secure for noise quantum channel.

A (t, n) threshold protocol of semi-quantum secret sharing based on single particles

Ziyi Zhou, Yifei Wang, Zhao Dou +3 more

Semi-quantum secret sharing is an important research issue in quantum cryptography. In this paper, we propose a (t, n) threshold semi-quantum secret sharing protocol, which combines the practicality of semi-quantum secret sharing protocols and the flexibility of (t, n) threshold quantum secret sharing protocols. Participants prepare and transmit single particles in a circular way, and then any t out of n participants can recover the secret according to Shamir’s secret sharing scheme. As quantum resources, single particles are easy to prepare. Furthermore, classical participants only need to possess the capability to prepare and insert particles. The security analysis shows our protocol has security against most attacks. Except decoy particles, all particles are useful to carry the secret message, so the efficiency of the proposed protocol can achieve 100%.
