Quantum Private Comparison: A Review
As an important branch of quantum secure multiparty computation, quantum
private comparison (QPC) has attracted more and more attention recently. In
this paper, according to the quantum implementation mechanism that these
protocols used, we divide these protocols into three categories: The quantum
cryptography QPC, the superdense coding QPC, and the entanglement swapping QPC.
And then, a more in-depth analysis on the research progress, design idea, and
substantive characteristics of corresponding QPC categories is carried out,
respectively. Finally, the applications of QPC and quantum secure multi-party
computation issues are discussed and, in addition, three possible research
mainstream directions are pointed out
Multi-party quantum private comparison of size relationship with two third parties based on d-dimensional Bell states
In this paper, we put forward a multi-party quantum private comparison (MQPC)
protocol with two semi-honest third parties (TPs) by adopting d-dimensional
Bell states, which can judge the size relationship of private integers from
more than two users within one execution of protocol. Each TP is permitted to
misbehave on her own but cannot collude with others. In the proposed MQPC
protocol, TPs are only required to apply d-dimensional single-particle
measurements rather than d-dimensional Bell state measurements. There are no
quantum entanglement swapping and unitary operations required in the proposed
MQPC protocol. The security analysis validates that the proposed MQPC protocol
can resist both the outside attacks and the participant attacks. The proposed
MQPC protocol is adaptive for the case that users want to compare the size
relationship of their private integers under the control of two supervisors.
Furthermore, the proposed MQPC protocol can be used in the strange user
environment, because there are not any communication and pre-shared key between
each pair of users.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl
A novel multi-party semiquantum private comparison protocol of size relationship with d-dimensional single-particle states
By using d-level single-particle states, the first multi-party semiquantum
private comparison (MSQPC) protocol which can judge the size relationship of
private inputs from more than two classical users within one execution of
protocol is put forward. This protocol requires the help of one quantum third
party (TP) and one classical TP, both of whom are allowed to misbehave on their
own but cannot conspire with anyone else. Neither quantum entanglement swapping
nor unitary operations are necessary for implementing this protocol. TPs are
only required to perform d-dimensional single-particle measurements. The
correctness analysis validates the accuracy of the compared results. The
security analysis verifies that both the outside attacks and the participant
attacks can be resisted.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, 2 table
