Abstract

We propose a substitute-Bell-state attack strategy for quantum secret sharing schemes without en- tanglement, as well as a definition of the minimum failure probability of such attack strategy. A quantitative analysis of security degrees corresponding to different unitary operations is also provided, when the secret sharing schemes without entanglement are stricken by substitute-Bell-state attack. As a result, the relation between the selection of unitary operations and the effect of substitute-Bell-state attack is shown, which can serve as an important guidance for the selection of unitary operations in designing and implementing quantum secret sharing schemes.

Quantitative security analysis of three-level unitary operations in quantum secret sharing without entanglement

Juan Xu, Xi Li, Yun-Guang Han +4 more

Quantum secret sharing (QSS) protocols without entanglement have showed high security by virtue of the characteristics of quantum mechanics. However, it is still a challenge to compare the security of such protocols depending on quantitative security analysis. Based on our previous security analysis work on protocols using single qubits and two-level unitary operations, QSS protocols with single qutrits and three-level unitary operations are considered in this paper. Under the Bell-state attack we propose, the quantitative security analyses according to different three-level unitary operations are provided respectively in the one-step and two-step situations. Finally, important conclusions are drawn for designing and implementing such QSS protocols. The method and results may also contribute to analyze the security of other high-level quantum cryptography schemes based on unitary operations.

Dynamic Secret Sharing Scheme for Quantum State

DU Yu-ta

A kind of dynamic quantum secret sharing scheme for single quantum state is proposed based on the two-particle transform,which performs different local operations on different photons of the Bell states. This scheme can resist the typical attack strategies such as the substitute-Bell-state attack,the compound entanglement-swapping attack and the cheating attack from the agent,etc.Meanwhile,the scheme is also high-efficient and can update the sub-secrets and the group of agents dynamically.

Cryptanalysis and improvement of the novel semi-quantum secret sharing scheme based on Bell states

Bingren Chen, Wei Yang, Liusheng Huang

A recent paper proposed a semi-quantum secret sharing (SQSS) scheme based on Bell states [A. Yin et al., Mod. Phys. Lett. B. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217984917501500 ]. This protocol was presumed that only the sender has the quantum power and all participants perform classical operations. However, we find this protocol is not that secure as it is expected. We can utilize the intercept-resend method to attack this scheme. Then, we give an improvement strategy based on semi-quantum key distribution, which ensures that the new scheme resists the attack we have proposed.

Analysis of a kind of quantum cryptographic schemes based on secret sharing

Zhang Xing

Recently, Yang et al. proposed a kind of quantum cryptographic schemes based on secret sharing. The main idea is drawn from the case, where any n participants who share a secret K can co-operate as K does. This process can be applied to encryption, authentication, signature and so on. Unfortunately, since there is no identity authentication of the share’s holder, these schemes inherit the limitation of secret sharing in practice. If some participants do not follow the protocol, the protocol would be a failure at last. Moreover, these schemes encounter another serious attack. Any two participants can co-operate to defeat the schemes by sending different shares to the parties unknown to the distributor of the secret K, such that these parties can execute the protocol as well. The attack proves that it is not enough for quantum cryptographic schemes that only the secret key is secure.

Cryptanalysis and improvement of the novel semi-quantum secret sharing scheme using entangled states

Qijian He, Wei Yang, Bingren Chen +1 more

A semi-quantum secret sharing scheme using entangled states was proposed in a recent paper [Mod. Phys. Lett. B 32 (2018) 1850256. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217984918502561 ]. We find a loophole of this scheme. Based on the intercept-resend attack, we propose a deterministic attack strategy and a probabilistic attack strategy. The malicious participant can escape the detection and obtains the secret. We also suggest two improvements to help increase the security of the original scheme.

Quantum secret sharing protocols with high efficiency

Fei Gao, Qiaoyan Wen, Fu-Chen Zhu

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.
