In this brief, we present a novel quantum protocol for Multiparty Privacy Set Intersection Cardinality (MPSI-CA) and design the corresponding quantum circuits. The proposed protocol demonstrates two primary aspects of quantum advantage: the parallelism of quantum computing and the randomness of quantum measurement. Compared with the classical related protocols, the proposed MPSI-CA protocol can ensure higher security (i.e., unconditional security) and achieve better communication complexity (i.e., O(t2)).

Like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, logical AND is a fundamental arithmetic operation in scientific computing. In this paper, we first consider and define a new privacy-preserving problem, i.e., Secure Multiparty Logical AND (SMLA), in which multiple participants can jointly compute the logical AND of their respective private bits. Furthermore, we present a novel quantum SMLA protocol by employing phase-matching quantum conference key agreement and perfect quantum encryption, and design the corresponding quantum circuits. The proposed quantum SMLA protocol can ensure information-theoretical security. What’s more, we design a private grouping strategy to reduce the communicational complexity and accordingly present an improved quantum SMLA protocol with the linear communicational rounds. In addition, we investigate its applications and design a feasible quantum Multiparty Private Set Intersection Cardinality (MPSI-CA) protocol based on the improved quantum SMLA protocol, in which multiple participants jointly compute the intersection cardinality without revealing their respective private sets. Finally, we verify the correctness and the feasibility of the proposed quantum protocols by circuit simulations in IBM Qiskit.
Recently, we proposed a quantum solution to the problem of private set intersection cardinality (PSI-CA) (Information Sciences 370–371 (2016) 147–158). Compared to classical solutions, the proposed quantum PSI-CA protocol achieves an exponential reduction in communication complexity, since it only needsO(1)communication cost. However, this protocol requires two additional assumptions about the cardinalities of the sets, which may limit its wider applications. In this paper, we successfully discard these assumptions and present a stronger quantum PSI-CA protocol without any limitation. The new protocol ensures the parties’ private security, i.e., unconditionally secure server privacy and statistically secure client privacy, and it achieves the constant computation and communication complexities, which are independent of the size of the sets. Therefore, it is more suitable for practical applications with big data sets.
Private Set Intersection Cardinality (PSI-CA) is one of the most concerned issues with the protection of privacy, in which two parties jointly compute the intersection cardinality without revealing their respective private sets. There are important applications of PSI-CA in real society, e.g., strongly privacy-preserving data statistics in contact tracing for health authorities to fight the outbreaks of highly contagious diseases. In this paper, we present a novel quantum PSI-CA protocol, in which we adopt oblivious quantum key distribution, secure quantum summation and quantum counting algorithm. The proposed PSI-CA protocol not only ensures the approximatively perfect security but also achieves the linear communication complexity, i.e.,O(N). Furthermore, we define a new privacy protection problem, i.e., Privacy-preserving Condition Query (PCQ), and provide an efficient solution to the PCQ problem based on the proposed quantum PSI-CA protocol. Finally, we verify the correctness and the feasibility of the proposed quantum PSI-CA protocol by circuit simulations in IBM Qiskit.
Private Set Intersection Cardinality (PSI-CA) is to compute privately the cardinality of the intersection of two sets, and there are many practical applications of PSI-CA, e.g., data mining and data analysis with the privacy protection. The current classical protocols for PSI-CA could not resist the attacks of quantum computers. In this paper, we present a novel quantum protocol for PSI-CA based on the basic laws of quantum mechanics, which can resist well-known quantum attacks. This protocol utilizes single photons as quantum resources and only needs to apply simple single-photon operators and measurements. Therefore, it is more feasible to implement this protocol, compared with the related quantum protocols, which require entangled states and other complicated operators.
Private Set Intersection Cardinality (PSI - CA) is a cryptographic primitive through which two or more participants can obtain the intersection cardinality of their private sets and the privacy of the sets is protected. In this paper, we propose a tripartite protocol that utilizes quantum resources to accomplish these tasks, in which each two or more parties can obtain the intersection cardinality of their private sets with the help of semi-honest third parties (TP). Using this property, a voting protocol is designed. In our protocol, the GHZ state is used to encode private information that TP will use to compute the cardinality. We prove that the proposed protocol is secure against well-known quantum attacks. Furthermore, compared with existing quantum voting schemes, the protocol achieves higher efficiency.
Abstract As we know that data sharing, a critical element in social networks, has the benefits of exploring important information, while also has the disadvantage of information leakage. Therefore, without the reliable third party arbitration agency, it is impossible to share information privately by distrustful multi-party. In this paper, we proposed a protocol called Quantum Secure Multi-party Private Set Intersection Cardinality (QSMS-IC), which has the capability of resisting quantum attacks. QSMS-IC, the extension of two-parity private set intersection cardinality which was proposed in Information Sciences(2016,147-158), utilizes quantum transformation, quantum measurements and quantum parallelism to solve multi-party private set intersection cardinality problems. Compared with two-party PSI-CA protocols, our proposed protocol can solve the data sharing among multi-party without the reliable third party arbitration agency. It also can be used in numerous applications and more suitable to the actual cases. For instance, large-scale social networks and privacy-preserving data ming.
