Hierarchical Quantum Secret Sharing Based On Quantum Fourier Transform

Abstract

Quantum secret sharing is an important branch of quantum cryptography. In this paper, a hierarchical quantum secret sharing protocol is proposed by using quantum Fourier transform and linear homogeneous recurrence relation. The distributor can share quantum states and classical information among participants who are divided into multiple levels. In addition, each participant is required to hold only one share which can be reused during the scheme, thereby enhancing the practicality and efficiency of the proposed scheme. Furthermore, the correctness of the proposed scheme is proved, and the security analysis shows that the presented scheme is resistant to some common external and internal attacks.
