Quantum secret sharing between multi-party and multi-party without entanglement
We propose a quantum secret sharing protocol between multi-party ( members
in group 1) and multi-party ( members in group 2) using a sequence of single
photons. These single photons are used directly to encode classical information
in a quantum secret sharing process. In this protocol, all members in group 1
directly encode their respective keys on the states of single photons via
unitary operations, then the last one (the member of group 1) sends
of the resulting qubits to each of group 2. Thus the secret message
shared by all members of group 1 is shared by all members of group 2 in such a
way that no subset of each group is efficient to read the secret message, but
the entire set (not only group 1 but also group 2) is. We also show that it is
unconditionally secure. This protocol is feasible with present-day techniques.Comment: 6 pages, no figur
Circular quantum secret sharing
A circular quantum secret sharing protocol is proposed, which is useful and
efficient when one of the parties of secret sharing is remote to the others who
are in adjacent, especially the parties are more than three. We describe the
process of this protocol and discuss its security when the quantum information
carrying is polarized single photons running circularly. It will be shown that
entanglement is not necessary for quantum secret sharing. Moreover, the
theoretic efficiency is improved to approach 100% as almost all the instances
can be used for generating the private key, and each photon can carry one bit
of information without quantum storage. It is straightforwardly to utilize this
topological structure to complete quantum secret sharing with multi-level
two-particle entanglement in high capacity securely.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
