Abstract:
As the basic protocol of secure multi-party computing, oblivious transfer protocol can not only construct other security protocols but also play a key role in protecting user privacy. With the rapid development of quantum computing, the security of modern cryptography based on mathematical difficulty problems is threatened, so further research on quantum oblivious transfer is of great significance. Most previous studies on 1-out-of-n quantum obvious transfer protocol are based on quantum key distribution protocols, which encode and transmit secret messages by orthogonal or non-orthogonal quantum states. However, some measurement methods that can distinguish quantum states to a certain extent will threaten the security of the protocols. This paper proposes a 1-out-of-n quantum oblivious transfer protocol based on the entanglement swapping between d-level cat state and d-level Bell state. This protocol does not require the participation of a third party and completes the task of oblivious transfer by encoding secret information in d-level cat state. Its security is based on quantum physical properties and can resist eavesdropping by external attackers. Compared with other protocols, it is more secure and can provide perfect secrecy defined in Shannon's theorem. It is worth noting that in this protocol, the secret holder can flexibly balance the privacy protection requirement and quantum resource consumption by adjusting parameter k.
