Abstract

Recently, Lang suggested a quantum private comparison (QPC) without classical computation (Int J Theor Phys, 59(2020)2984). Lang claimed that this QPC protocol is secure against both the participant attack and the outside attack. It is pointed out in this paper that the third party (TP) can totally obtain the private binary sequences of two communicants by launching a special measurement attack; and moreover, an outside attacker can make this protocol fail by launching the disturbance attack. The corresponding methods are further put forward to overcome these drawbacks.
