Abstract

A novel quantum secret sharing scheme between one and many parties with four states is proposed. Different from existing schemes, the bit value of shared key in this scheme depends on the operations done by the receivers, say Bobs, not the preparer Alice, which is highly applicable in some cases. This paper also gives the definition of qubit capacity, in order to signify the relative amount of quantum resource needed in schemes. The analysis shows that the qubit capacity of our scheme is 1, which means it saves quantum resource due to the absence of entanglement and bitwise Exclusive OR operations on qubits' measuring results. Besides, this scheme has features of being convenient for receivers, feasible with current technology, and also secure against some common attacks.

Quantum secret sharing without exclusive OR of qubits' measuring results

A novel practical quantum secret sharing protocol is proposed to share a private key between one and many parties based on four single-qubit states. The qubit capacity of this protocol is high due to the absence of bitwise exclusive OR of qubits' measuring results. It is also feasible with present-day technology, even when a great many participants are engaged, and secure against several common attacks. Besides, this protocol can be directly extended to deal with the many-to-many situation.

An Efficient Quantum Secret Sharing Scheme Based on Bell States

Fen-Zhuo Guo, Gao Fei

Drawing idea from the quantum secure direct communication(QSDC),a novel quantum secret sharing(QSS) scheme with high efficiency based on Bell states was proposed.In this scheme,the sender Alice needed no longer share a joint key between her and the two receivers,Bob and Charlie,as well as used the joint key to transmit her message.Alice shared her secret message with Bob and Charlie directly.One Bell state could be used to share two bits message.Investigation showed that the scheme is secure.

Quantum Secret Sharing Protocol between Multiparty and Multiparty with Single Photons and Unitary Transformations

Yan Feng-Li, Gao Ting, You‐Cheng Li

We propose a scheme of quantum secret sharing between Alice's group and Bob's group with single photons and unitary transformations. In the protocol, one member in Alice's group prepares a sequence of single photons in one of four different states, while other members directly encode their information on the sequence of single photons via unitary operations; after that, the last member sends the sequence of single photons to Bob's group. Then Bob's, except for the last one, do work similarly. Finally the last member in Bob's group measures the qubits. If the security of the quantum channel is guaranteed by some tests, then the qubit states sent by the last member of Alice's group can be used as key bits for secret sharing. It is shown that this scheme is safe.

An Efficient Quantum Secret Sharing Scheme Based on Restricted Threshold Access Structure

Lei Li, Zhi Zhou Li

Quantum secret sharing is an important branch of quantum cryptography, and secure multi-party quantum key distribution protocols can be constructed using quantum secret sharing. In this paper, we construct a quantum secret sharing scheme built on a constrained (t, n ) threshold access structure, where n is the number of participants and t is the threshold number of participants and the distributor. Participants from two different sets perform the corresponding phase shift operations on two particles in the GHZ state passed to them, and then t−1 participants with the distributor can recover the key, where the participant recovering the key measures the particles received by himself and finally obtains the key through the collaboration of the distributors. Security analysis shows that this protocol can be resistant to direct measurement attacks, interception retransmission attacks, and entanglement measurement attacks. This protocol is more secure, flexible, and efficient compared with similar existing protocols, which can save more quantum resources.

Quantum Secret Sharing Based on Multi-Particle Entanglement

Fen-Zhuo Guo, Wen Qiao-yan

We propose a class of Quantum Secret Sharing (QSS) scheme based on multi-particle entanglement. The eavesdropping analysis shows that the scheme is secure. Its efficiency is 100% in principle. That is, one multi-particle entanglement can be used to share a bit of classical key among the parties. As a result, it is resource saving. The protocol can also be adjusted to split a classical secret message directly. The implementation of it is relatively applicable.
