Abstract

Multi-party quantum secret sharing scheme with high efficient based on entanglement states is proposed and analyzed. A three-party which is presented shares a sequence of joint key bits. In this scheme, a general proof of the security against eavesdropping for three-party quantum secret sharing based on entanglement swapping is provided. The scheme which is showed is secure against a dishonest participant's intercept-and-resend attack and eavesdropper's entangle auxiliary-particles attack. In case of eavesdropping attacks with full information again, the detection bit needs to be transmitted except those for detection, the total efficiency of the scheme approaches to 100%. The protocol can be generalized to N-party system by using N-partite entanglement states.

Multi-Party Quantum Secret Sharing Based on GHZ State

Zhihui Li, Xue Jiang, Lu Liu

In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-party quantum secret sharing scheme based on GHZ entangled state. The participants in this scheme are divided into two groups, and share secrets as a group. There is no need to exchange any measurement information between the two groups, reducing the security problems caused by the communication process. Each participant holds one particle from each GHZ state; it can be found that the particles of each GHZ state are related after measuring them, and the eavesdropping detection can detect external attacks based on this characteristic. Furthermore, since the participants within the two groups encode the measured particles, they can recover the same secrets. Security analysis shows that the protocol can resist the intercept-and-resend attack and entanglement measurement attack, and the simulation results show that the probability of an external attacker being detected is proportional to the amount of information he can obtain. Compared with the existing protocols, this proposed protocol is more secure, has less quantum resources and is more practical.

Controllable quantum secret sharing scheme on three-party entangled state

Hongyang Ma, Shumei Wang, Ran Li

Controllable quantum secret sharing scheme on three -party entangled states can be implemented in realistic,high quantum network with three quantum units.S1,S2,S3 construct a three-party entangled state.S1 prepares 2N GHZ-like state,and sends S2 and S3 the last two particles,respectively.At last,S1,S2,S3 check together,derive the private key string through hidden value α.The scheme analyzes the security of the protocol for two cases of attacks,where one is an eavesdropping by Eve,and the other is the intercept-and-resend attack by a dishonest person.The three-party entangled state guarantees the security of the controllable secret sharing scheme.

A novel approach for secure multi-party secret sharing scheme via Quantum cryptography

Noor ul Ain

Classical secret sharing proposed by Shamir used classical computational power in classical cryptography to achieve secret key sharing, but with the advent of quantum systems, computational power can be overruled. To ensure a secure secret sharing scheme independent of computational power, a scheme independent of computational complexity is needed to achieve security. This paper will provide a protocol dependent on inherent secure nature of quantum cryptography (quantum no cloning theorem and quantum measurement rule). A secure multiparty quantum secret sharing scheme has been proposed to ensure that no one can eavesdrop or extract any share of the secret message via inherent security provided by quantum entanglement swapping and quantum teleportation. Entanglement swapping is a process that allows two non-interacting quantum systems to be entangled. Whereas, Quantum teleportation allows a party to send a qubit to another entangled party without sending the qubit over the channel. Moreover, in order to ensure security against possible active attacks, sender himself will generate and distribute EPR pairs to be used in the scheme. Result will be a secure multiparty QSS scheme which will be secure against internal and external eavesdropping, masquerading and brute-force attacks.

A Novel Efficient Multiparty Semi-Quantum Secret Sharing Protocol Using Entangled States for Sharing Specific Bits

Mustapha Anis Younes, Sofia Zebboudj, Abdelhakim Gharbi

Recently, Younes et al. proposed an efficient multi-party semi-quantum secret sharing (SQSS) scheme that generalizes Tian et al.'s three-party protocol \cite{Tian2021} to accommodate multiple participants. This scheme retains the original advantages, such as high qubit efficiency and allowing the secret dealer, Alice, to control the message content. However, He et al. \cite{He2024} identified a vulnerability in Tian et al.'s protocol to the double CNOT attack (DCNA), which also affects the generalized scheme. In response, He et al. proposed an improved protocol to address this issue. Despite these improvements, their protocol is limited to two participants and remains a primarily two-way communication scheme, which does not fully prevent the Trojan horse attack without expensive quantum devices such as photon number splitters (PNS) and wavelength filters (WF). To address these issues, this paper develops a novel multi-party SQSS scheme using the quantum property between Bell states and the Hadamard operation to detect eavesdroppers. This new scheme is secure against the DCNA, intercept-resend attack, and collective attack. It employs a fully one-way communication scheme, entirely preventing the Trojan horse attack without costly quantum devices, aligning with the semi-quantum environment's original intent. This new protocol also offers better qubit efficiency and allows Alice to share specific secrets.

Multi-party Quantum Secure Direct Communication

Xiaoqing Tan, Xiaoqian Zhang, Cui Liang

A protocol for three-party quantum secure direct communication using entanglement states is proposed. In this protocol, three participants simultaneously exchange their messages. The protocol is shown to stand against the intercept-and-resend attack, the intercept-and-measure attack, the intercept-and-entangle auxiliary attack and the denial-of-service attack. It can be generalized to N-party case that is feasible.

Multiparty semi-quantum secret sharing protocol based on single photon sequence and permutation

Xiangjun Xin, Fan He, Chaoyang Li +1 more

Most semi-quantum secret sharing protocols are suitable for the application with three participants. Based on the n-level states, a multiparty semi-quantum secret sharing protocol is proposed. Compared with similar protocols, it has the merits as follows. (1) The dealer only needs to prepare the single photon sequence without using any product state or entangle state. (2) To share a secret, the classical parties need not have the ability of measurement. They only need to reorder the photon sequence and send it to the receiver. (3) The dealer knows nothing about any agent’s secret shadow. Therefore, it is infeasible for the dealer to impersonate the classical participant to pool the secret shadow during the secret recovering phase. (4) Theoretically, the qubit efficiency of the proposed protocol is asymptotically 100%. The protocol is secure against famous attacks such as intercept-resend attack, measurement-resend attack and entangle-measure attack.
