Rev. A \\textbf{72}, 012304 (2005)). We find that it is secure if the quantum signal transmitted is only a single photon but insecure with a multi-photon signal as some agents can get the information about the others' message if they attack the communication with a Trojan horse. However, security against this attack can be attained with a simple modification.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-08-23T13:00:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multiparty", "entanglement", "single photon", "quantum secret sharing protocol", "simple modification" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005quant.ph..8171D" } } }
