Study on Quantum Oblivious Transfer

Abstract:

The Oblivious Transfer (OT) is a typical foundation agreement of secure multi-party computations. It can be used to solve the “ Millionaire” interesting question raised by the winner of the Turing Award in 1982, Mr. Yao , thus to build more complex secure multi-party computation protocol or to solve practical problems,such as electronic voting, elections, e-commerce. Using of the quantum channel and the principles of the quantum mechanics , Quantum Oblivious Transfer (QOT) can be solve the classic oblivious transfer problems. QOT can be achieved higher security and higher efficiency than the Classic Oblivious Transfer, while it also has a unique advantage in found eavesdropping. We had given a very novel QOT scheme based on three-particle entangled states. Although the use more particles , the process is better concise.
