Quantum secret sharing using only order rearrangements to generate sub-secrets

By using rearrangement orders to form sub-secrets, we propose a novel multiparty quantum secret sharing protocol based on single photons. Obviously, the method to form sub-secrets is special and interesting here. We analyze the security of the proposed protocol, and detect that it can resist the general attacks: the intercept-resend attack, the entangle-measure attack and Trojan horse attack. We calculate theefficiency of the proposed protocol, and show that it is higher than those of some quantum secret sharing protocols.
