Privacy-preserving Quantum Sealed-bid Auction Based on Grover’s Search Algorithm

Abstract Sealed-bid auction is an important tool in modern economic especially concerned with networks. However, the bidders still lack the privacy protection in previously proposed sealed-bid auction schemes. In this paper, we focus on how to further protect the privacy of the bidders, especially t...
