Security improvements for privacy-preserving quantum multiparty computation based on circular structure. (English) Zbl 1508.81639
Summary: Z. Deng et al. [“Privacy-preserving quantum multi-party computation based on circular structure”, J. Inf. Secur. Appl. 47, 120–124 (2019; doi:10.1016/j.jisa.2019.04.011)] recently proposed a quantum multiparty collaborative computation protocol that claims that the private information of trustful participants is secure against the distrustful ones. They also analyzed the security of their model against a malicious user and claimed that it is secure. However, our work shows that Deng et al.’s protocol [loc. cit.] is insecure against both inside and outside attacks. We suggest a modification to prevent both inside and outside attacks from getting any useful information. Also, the proposed modified version allows all participated users to compute the final statistics instead of just one user.
