“…The research task of QMSC is to solve the problem of collaborative computing among multiple mutually distrusted players while ensuring the confidentiality of their privacy inputs. As the study develops in depth, researchers have further applied QSMC to establish secure schemes for various computing scenarios in distributed networks, such as anonymous voting [1,2], private comparison [3,4], and secure multiparty summation [5][6][7]. Within them, quantum secure multiparty summation (QSMS) is the most essential primitive in QSMC, which can be extended to other multiparty computations.…”

The research of quantum secure multiparty computation is a subject of great importance in modern cryptography. In this study, we construct a veriﬁable quantum protocol for dynamic secure multiparty summation based on the cyclic property of d-level MUBs. Our protocol can realize dynamic parameter update in the aspect of members and secret inputs, improving the practicality of the protocol. Moreover, a veriﬁcation mechanism for result checking by applying ElGamal homomorphic encryption is given, and further enables the detectability of cheating behaviors, making our protocol safer. The security analysis proves the proposed protocol not only can resist a range of typical attacks from outside and inside, but also is secure against dishonest revoked participant attack which has been neglected in previous dynamic quantum summation protocols. From a theoretical perspective, compared with existing summation protocols, the protocol provides better practicability, higher privacy protection, and higher efﬁciency.

“…It can enable n participants to jointly calculate a summation without revealing any participant’s secret to others. Quantum summation can be applied to a variety of fields, such as quantum voting [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], quantum anonymous ranking [ 19 , 20 ], and quantum private equality comparison [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Designing efficient and practical quantum summation protocols is thus significant.…”

In this paper, we propose a secure multi-party summation based on single photons. With the help of a semi-honest third party, n participants can simultaneously obtain the summation result without revealing their secret inputs. Our protocol uses single photon states as the information carriers. In addition, each participant with secret input only performs simple single-particle operators rather than particle preparation and any complex quantum measurements. These features make our protocol more feasible to implement. We demonstrate the correctness and security of the proposed protocol, which is resistant to participant attack and outside attack. In the end, we compare in detail the performance of the quantum summation protocol in this paper with other schemes in terms of different indicators. By comparison, our protocol is efficient and easy to implement.

“…It is important to improve its scalability in various voting scenes. Recently, Li et al [24] adopted grouping strategy to improve the efficiency of distributed quantum voting protocol. Hence, it is worth considering how to adopt grouping strategy to improve the practicality of our traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme.…”

Based on traveling ballot mode, we propose a secure quantum anonymous voting via Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger(GHZ) states. In this scheme, each legal voter performs unitary operation on corresponding position of particle sequence to encode his/her voting content. The voters have multiple ballot items to choose rather than just binary options ”yes” or ”no”. After counting votes phase, any participant who is interested in voting results can obtain the voting results. To improve the efficiency of the traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme, an optimization method based on grouping strategy is also presented. Compared with the most existing traveling quantum voting schemes, the proposed scheme is more practical because of its privacy, verifiability and nonrepeatability. Furthermore, the security analysis shows that the proposed traveling quantum anonymous voting scheme can prevent various attacks and ensure high security.
