Verifiable multi-party quantum secret sharing based on GHZ states

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a verifiable multi-party secret sharing protocol based on an entanglement swapping theorem of GHZ states. In our protocol, all receivers only need to perform simple GHZ measurements to recover the secret. The quantum-safe system proposed in this paper is feasible with current quantum technologies, and we show that it is secure against both external and internal attacks. In addition, the secret sender can verify whether the secret is correctly recovered.
