The quantum secure multiparty computation is one of the important properties of secure quantum communication. In this paper, we propose a quantum secure multiparty summation (QSMS) protocol based on (t, n) threshold approach, which can be used in many complex quantum operations. To make this protocol secure and realistic, we combine both the classical and quantum phenomena. The existing protocols have some security and efficiency issues because they use (n, n) threshold approach, where all the honest players need to perform the quantum multiparty summation protocol. We however use a (t, n) threshold approach, where only t honest players need to compute the quantum summation protocol. Compared to other protocols our proposed protocol is more cost-effective, realistic, and secure. We also simulate it using the IBM corporation's online quantum computer, or quantum experience.
量子安全多方计算是安全量子通信的重要特性之一。在本文中,我们基于(t,n)阈值方法提出了一种量子安全多方求和(QSMS)协议,该协议可用于许多复杂的量子操作。为了使该协议安全且切实可行,我们结合了经典和量子现象。现有协议存在一些安全性和效率问题,因为它们使用(n,n)阈值方法,即所有诚实参与者都需要执行量子多方求和协议。然而,我们使用(t,n)阈值方法,其中仅t个诚实参与者需要计算量子求和协议。与其他协议相比,我们提出的协议更具成本效益、更切实可行且更安全。我们还使用IBM公司的在线量子计算机(即量子体验)对其进行了模拟。
