Abstract
Quantum homomorphic encryption (QHE) can allow directly computation on the encrypted data without need to decrypt it in advance. It is also necessary to provide another property of verifiability that the client should verify whether the evaluation result is correct. However, most existing QHE schemes did not consider it and only assumed servers to be honest. In this paper, we propose a verifiable QHE (vQHE) scheme by using different types of circuits indistinguishable to the server, where the client can detect whether the server is honest or not by verifying the results of test circuits. Furthermore, by designing the gadgets to implement and test T gates and H gates in a non-interactive way for the used circuits, the proposed vQHE scheme does not require interaction during the process of evaluation. Thus the proposed vQHE scheme has the potential to make clients prefer to use it for protecting their private data in future quantum cloud environments.
期刊介绍:
Driven by advances in technology and experimental capability, the last decade has seen the emergence of quantum technology: a new praxis for controlling the quantum world. It is now possible to engineer complex, multi-component systems that merge the once distinct fields of quantum optics and condensed matter physics.
Quantum Science and Technology is a new multidisciplinary, electronic-only journal, devoted to publishing research of the highest quality and impact covering theoretical and experimental advances in the fundamental science and application of all quantum-enabled technologies.
