Abstract

We introduce a protocol for quantum secret sharing based on reusable entangled states. The entangled state between the sender and the receiver acts only as a carrier to which data bits are entangled by the sender and disentangled from it by the receivers, all by local actions of simple gates. We also show that the interception by Eve or the cheating of one of the receivers introduces a quantum bit error rate larger than 25% which can be detected by comparing a subsequence of the bits.

Comment II on “Quantum secret sharing based on reusable Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states as secure carriers”

DU Jian-zhong, Su‐Juan Qin, Qiaoyan Wen +1 more

In a recent paper [S. Bagherinezhad and V. Karimipour, Phys. Rev. A 67, 044302 (2003)], a quantum secret sharing protocol based on reusable GHZ states was proposed. However, in this comment, it is shown that this protocol is insecure because a cheater can gain all the secret bits before sharing, while introducing one data bit error at most in the whole communication, which makes the cheater avoid the detection by the communication parities.

A new scheme for quantum secret sharing

Saber Bagherinezhad, Karimipour

We introduce a protocol for quantum secret sharing based on reusable entangled states. The entangled state between the sender and the receiver acts only as a carrier and no measurement is performed on this shared state. Half of the sequence of bits can be retrieved independently and for the other half the receivers need each other's assistance. We also show that the protocol is completely safe against eavesdropping.

Reply to “Comment II on ‘Quantum secret sharing based on reusable Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states as secure carriers’ ”

In the preceding Comment [Jian-Zhong Du, Su-Juan Qin, Qiao-Yan Wen, and Fu-Chen Zhu, Phys. Rev. A 74, 016301 (2006)], it has been shown that in a quantum secret sharing protocol proposed in [S. Bagherinezhad and V. Karimipour, Phys. Rev. A 67, 044302 (2003)], one of the receivers can cheat by splitting the entanglement of the carrier and intercepting the secret, without being detected. In this reply we show that a simple modification of the protocol prevents the receivers from this kind of cheating.

Secure Quantum Secret Sharing Based on Reusable GHZ States as Secure Carriers

Song Jie, Zhang Shou

We show that a potential eavesdropper can eavesdrop whole secret information when the legitimate users use secure carrier to encode and decode classical information repeatedly in the protocol proposed by Bagherinezhad S and Karimipour V [Phys. Rev. A 67 (2003) 044302]. Then we present a revised quantum secret sharing protocol by using the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state as secure carrier. Our protocol can resist Eve's attack.

Efficient multiparty quantum secret sharing of secure direct communication

Jian Wang, Quan Zhang, Chaojing Tang

In this paper, we present an (n, n) threshold quantum secret sharing scheme of secure direct communication using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state. The present scheme is efficient in that all the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states used in the quantum secret sharing scheme are used to generate shared secret messages except those chosen for checking eavesdropper. In our scheme, the measuring basis of communication parties is invariable and the classical information used to check eavesdropping needs only the results of measurements of the communication parties. Another nice feature of our scheme is that the sender transmit her secret messages to the receivers directly and the receivers recover the sender's secret by combining their results, different from the QSS scheme whose object is essentially to allow a sender to establish a shared key with the receivers. This feature of our scheme is similar to that of quantum secret direct communication.
