contents Quantum secret sharing (QSS) plays a significant role in multiparty quantum communication and is a crucial component of future quantum multiparty computing networks. Therefore, it is highly valuable to develop a QSS protocol that offers both information-theoretic security and validation in real optical systems under a finite-key regime. In this work, we propose a three-user QSS protocol based on phase-encoding technology. By adopting symmetric procedures for the two players, our protocol resolves the security loopholes introduced by asymmetric basis choice without prior knowledge of the identity of the malicious player. Kato's concentration inequality is exploited to provide security against coherent attacks with the finite-key effect. Moreover, the practicality of our protocol has been validated under a 30-dB channel loss with a transmission distance of 5-km fiber. Our protocol achieves secure key rates ranging from 432 to 192 bps by choosing different pulse intensities and basis selection probabilities. Offering enhanced security and practicality, our protocol stands as an essential element for the realization of quantum multiparty computing networks.
