Abstract

Secure two-party protocols are of significant research and application value. All-or-Nothing Disclosure of Secrets (ANDOS) is such a kind of cryptographic task. It involves two parties, a vendor and a buyer. The vendor, say Alice, who disposes of several secrets and is willing to sell any of them to the buyer, say Bob, with the guarantee that no information about the other secrets will be obtained. Furthermore, Bob can freely choose his secret and wants to ensure that Alice can obtain on information about which of her secrets he has picked. In this paper, we present a new quantum ANDOS scheme which achieves the same functionality, but which is of unconditional security.
