Abstract

Recently, Jiang et al. proposed a quantum cryptography protocol [Mod. Phys. Lett. B 32 (2018) 1850125] which can implement the equal exchange of secret information between the two parties with the help of semi-trusted third party. Here, it will be shown that the protocol is insecure and has the drawback of information leakage.
