“…Since then, many SQSDC protocols with an entanglement state [ 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ] and without entanglement [ 69 ] have been proposed. Private comparison is primitive for many cryptographic tasks, and recently, several schemes for semi-quantum private comparison with single photons [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ], Bell states [ 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 ], GHZ-like states [ 78 , 79 , 80 ], and W states [ 81 ] have been proposed.…”
