Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient semi-quantum private comparison protocol (SQPC) using single photons, which allows two classical participants to securely compare the equality of their secret with the help of an almost-dishonest third party. Because of the use of single photons, the SQPC is more practical and the qubit efficiency of the proposed protocol is higher than the existing semi-quantum private comparison protocols. Moreover, the proposed protocol can resist several well-known attacks including outsider and insider’s attacks.
