Quantum secret sharing protocols with high efficiency

Fei Gao, Qiaoyan Wen, Fu-Chen Zhu

Abstract

Measuring the two photons from a Bell state will yield certain correlations between the measurement results. Based on this feature, two quantum secret sharing protocols were proposed. The security against several general attacks was analysed and it was shown that both schemes are secure in theory. Furthermore, both schemes achieve full efficiency and there is no need to utilize multi-particle entanglement, which is relatively more difficult to generate.

Quantum secret sharing of single-qubit state via tripartite entangled states

Qun-Yong Zhang

Two schemes for quantum secret sharing of single-qubit state were proposed.A symmetric threequbit entangled state and an asymmetric three-qubit entangled state were used as quantum channel,respectively. The sender performs Bell-basis measurements on her particles,and the cooperator operates single-particle measurements on his particles,then the state receiver can reconstruct the original state by applying the appropriate unitary operation.The schemes can also be generalized to the case of arbitrary two-qubit and multi-particle entangled state.The security against certain eavesdropping attacks is also considered.These protocols are considered to be secure.

Quantum Secret Sharing Based on Entanglement Swapping and Local Operation

Qin Su-juan, Tailin Liu, Wen Qiao-yan

To improve the efficiency of quantum secret sharing, a protocol share the message directly among the users was proposed. The scheme made full use of entanglement swapping of Bell states and local operations. For detection of eavesdropping, the EPR pairs were divided into two parts: the checking parts and the encoding parts. After insuring the security of the quantum channel by measuring the checking particles in conjugate bases, the sender encoded her bits via the local unitary operations on the encoding parts. Investigation shows that the protocol is secure and two Bell states can be used to share two bits message.

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.

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing Protocol with Authentication

Xiaofen Liu, Xuanhui Yan, Zhiqiang Yao

Utilizing the advantage of Bell state,a multiparty quantum secret sharing protocol with authentication is put forward.In the protocol,the deal encodes two classical bits of secret message on the quantum carrier though performing local unitary operation.He splits the secret message into n shares and then distributes them to n agents via entanglement swapping.Each agent makes a Bell state measurement on the particles in his hand,and obtains his piece of secret according to the measurement result.In the process of reconstruction,these n agents declare respectively their pieces of secret,and recover the secret message if and only if they collaborate.At the same time,combining the technology of Hash function,the identities of the deal and the agents are authenticated.Hence,one main goal of designing the presented protocol,two-way authentication,is achieved.Moreover,we analyze the security and authentication of the presented protocol in detail.It is shown that this protocol can stand against the attacks of outside eavesdropper and inside participant,which means that it is secure in theory.In addition,since the Bell state was used at most,as compared with other quantum secret sharing protocols,the implementation of the presented protocol is more feasible in the current technical conditions.

Efficient quantum secret sharing scheme with two-particle entangled states

Zhenchao Zhu, Yuqing Zhang, Anmin Fu

This paper proposes a protocol for multi-party quantum secret sharing utilizing four non-orthogonal two-particle entangled states following some ideas in the schemes proposed by Liu et al . ( 2006 Chin. Phys. Lett. 23 3148 ) and Zhang et al . ( 2009 Chin. Phys. B 18 2149 ) respectively. The theoretical efficiency for qubits of the new protocol is improved from 50% to approaching 100%. All the entangled states can be used for generating the private key except those used for the eavesdropping check. The validity of a probable attack called opaque cheat attack to this kind of protocols is considered in the paper for the first time.

Two schemes of multiparty quantum direct secret sharing via a six-particle GHZ state*

Xin-Wei Zha, Ruo-Xu Jiang, Minrui Wang

Abstract In this paper, two new efficient multiparty quantum direct secret sharing schemes are proposed via a six-particle GHZ state and Bell measurements. In the first scheme, based on the theory of security cryptanalysis, the secret message of the sender is directly encoded into the transmitted particles, and all the agents can obtain their information by performing bell measurement on the received particles, and then cooperate to recover the information of the sender. In the second scheme, we define a new secret shared coding method by performing local unitary operations on the transmitted particles, then agents perform Bell measurements on their own particles respectively, and feedback the measurement to the dealer. If the agent’s results are matched with the previous coding method, the protocol will work out. In addition, the proposed two schemes have the following common advantages: the sender can send all prepared particles to the receiver, and can send an arbitrary key to the receiver, rather than a random secret key; the proposed schemes do not need to insert any detection sets to detect eavesdropping and can resist both existing attacks and spoofing attacks by dishonest agents. The sender need not to retain any photons, so the sender’s quantum memory could be omitted here.
