Abstract

Although many quantum security tools have been proposed, many of them are quantum secret key distribution protocols. However, we naturally wish to construct quantum cryptosystems different from the conventional cryptosystems. In this paper, first, we show simple methods with prior entanglement in order to split a party's message among some parties securely. Moreover, as an application, we also show that by using our splitting methods, we can construct not only quantum secret key distribution protocols but also quantum cryptosystems. Some of our quantum cryptosystems are different from the conventional cryptosystems because they are executed interactively.
