Multi-party Quantum Byzantine Agreement Without Entan- glementByzantine Agreement Protocol • March 23rd, 2020
Contract Type FiledMarch 23rd, 2020In this paper we propose a protocol of quantum communication to achieve Byzantine agreement among multiple par- ties. The striking feature of our proposal in comparison to the existing protocols is that we do not use entanglement to achieve the agreement. There are two stages in our protocol. In the first stage, a list of numbers that satisfies some special prop- erties is distributed to every participant by a group of semi-honest list distributors via quantum secure communication. Then, in the second stage those participants ex- change some information to reach agree- ment.
