Sumario:Abstract Secure multiparty computation has the potential to be a disruptive technique in the realm of data analysis and computation. It enables several parties to compute virtually any function while preserving the privacy of their inputs. However, most of its protocols’ security and efficiency relies on the security and efficiency of oblivious transfer (OT). In this work, we make a detailed comparison between the complexity of the hybrid quantum oblivious transfer (HQOT) protocol presented in [11] and the classical OT [12], which to the best of our knowledge, is the fastest OT protocol. We also propose an optimised version of HQOT and discuss several other OT protocols generated from oblivious keys.
