Efficient verifiable quantum secret sharing schemes via eight-quantum-entangled states. (English) Zbl 1477.94067
Summary: Quantum secret sharing (QSS) protocols are designed to allow a secret message to be divided into several shadows, and the secret can be reconstructed cooperatively. Motivated by the eight quantum entangled (EQE) state, a tripartite verifiable QSS scheme is proposed. It involves three agents, in four phases, i.e., shadow distribution phase, eavesdropping detection phase, measurement and secret sharing phase, verification and secret recover phase. The protocol can not only share and recover the secret correctly, but also verify whether there are dishonest participants in communication. In addition, the protocol is extended to a multiparty quantum secret sharing scheme by utilizing the unitary operations. Security analysis shows that the proposed schemes achieve the fundamental security requirements against the external and internal attackers with the aid of the quantum decoy states. It is shown that the efficiency in classical and quantum transmission is higher than the other protocols.
