Quantum Secret Sharing using single states

Razieh Mohajer, Ziba Eslami

Published Sep 1, 2016• 2 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a secure Quantum Secret Sharing protocol among participants which are far from each other and there is no secure channel between them to reconstruct the secret. This protocol doesn't need any entanglement states or unitary operations. Each participant performs rotations and finally measures single states.

Entanglement-secured single-qubit quantum secret sharing

Peter Scherpelz, R. Resch, D. Berryrieser +1 more

In single-qubit quantum secret sharing, a secret is shared between $N$ parties via manipulation and measurement of one qubit at a time. Each qubit is sent to all $N$ parties in sequence; the secret is encoded in the first participant's preparation of the qubit state and the subsequent participants' choices of state rotation or measurement basis. We present a protocol for single-qubit quantum secret sharing using polarization entanglement of photon pairs produced in type-I spontaneous parametric downconversion. We investigate the protocol's security against eavesdropping attack under common experimental conditions: a lossy channel for photon transmission, and imperfect preparation of the initial qubit state. A protocol which exploits entanglement between photons, rather than simply polarization correlation, is more robustly secure. We implement the entanglement-based secret-sharing protocol with 87$%$ secret-sharing fidelity, limited by the purity of the entangled state produced by our present apparatus. We demonstrate a photon-number splitting eavesdropping attack, which achieves no success against the entanglement-based protocol while showing the predicted rate of success against a correlation-based protocol.

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.

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.

A quantum secret-sharing protocol with fairness

Feng Liu, Su‐Juan Qin, Qiaoyan Wen

A quantum secret-sharing (QSS) protocol consists of two main phases, called sharing and reconstruction. In the first phase, the dealer selects a secret, divides it into several shares, and sends each participant its share securely with a quantum channel. In the second phase, the participants run an interactive protocol in order to reconstruct the secret. If the participants can communicate via a broadcast channel, they can show their shares and learn the secrets simultaneously. So what happens if the channel is not simultaneous? In this paper, we propose a QSS protocol with cheaters by using partially and maximally entangled states. A secure and fair reconstruction mechanism is designed, in a way that each participant can learn or cannot learn the secret simultaneously.

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 multiparty quantum secret sharing scheme using a single qudit

WenWen Hu, Bangshu Xiong, Ri‐Gui Zhou

The aim of quantum secret sharing, as one of most promising components of quantum cryptograph, is one-to-multiparty secret communication based on the principles of quantum mechanics. In this paper, an efficient multiparty quantum secret sharing protocol in a high-dimensional quantum system using a single qudit is proposed. Each participant's shadow is encoded on a single qudit via a measuring basis encryption method, which avoids the waste of qudits caused by basis reconciliation. Security analysis indicates that the proposed protocol is immune to general attacks, such as the measure-resend attack, entangle-and-measure attack and Trojan horse attack. Compared to former protocols, the proposed protocol only needs to perform the single-qudit measurement operation, and can share the predetermined dits instead of random bits or dits.
