Abstract

In this paper, a quantum private comparison protocol is proposed based on χ-type state. According to the protocol, two parties can determine the equality of their information with the assistant of a semi-honest third party. Due to utilizing quantum superdense coding, this protocol provides a high efficiency and capacity. Moreover, its security is also discussed.
