| contents | This article introduces a novel Quantum Secret Sharing scheme with $( k, n )$ threshold and endowed with verification capability. The new protocol exploits the power of entanglement and evolves in three phases. The primary novelty of the new protocol lies in its ability to operate completely parallelly in a fully distributed setup, where the spymaster and her agents all are in different locations, in contrast to the vast majority of analogous protocols that assume a localized scenario in which all agents are at the same place. The spymaster sends all necessary information to all intended recipients simultaneously in one step. All phases are executed in parallel, minimizing the overall execution cost of the protocol. Given its comparative complexity, we provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis to establish its information-theoretic security in the sense of preventing both outside eavesdroppers from obtaining any useful information and inside rogue agents from sabotaging its successful completion. The protocol eliminates the need for a quantum signature scheme or pre-shared keys, thereby simplifying the process and lowering complexity. Finally, the possibility of its implementation by contemporary quantum computers is promising because the protocol relies exclusively on CNOT and Hadamard gates and all players operating on similar or identical quantum circuits. |
