Abstract) In this paper, we propose a new protocol designed for quantum private
comparison (QPC). This new protocol utilizes the hyperentanglement as the
quantum resource and introduces a semi-honest third party (TP) to achieve the
objective. This protocol’s quantum carrier is a hyperentangled three-photon GHZ
state in 2 degrees of freedom (DOF), which could have 64 combinations. The TP
can decide which combination to use based on the shared key information
provided from a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol. By doing so, the
security of the protocol can be improved further. Decoy photon technology is also More >
