The two quantum clients want to compute a function using the input of both parties. In this protocol, we focus on a specific function, which is the equality function. This function provides boolean output 1 if the input of both the parties is the same, otherwise, the output is 0.
Here, two quantum clients want to check if their quantum inputs are distinct while also keeping their inputs secret. They prepare quantum fingerprints of their individual inputs and send these states to the server. Next stage involves the server a SWAP test on the fingerprints to check their equality. This is repeated several times on the same fingerprints to reduce the error probability.

Preparation stage involves two parties (two quantum clients) preparing the fingerprints of their individual inputs and sending their quantum states to the server (trusted third party). The two clients do not possess any shared quantum key.

Next stage involves the server performing several operations on the fingerprints to check their equality. These operations are repeated several times on the same fingerprints to reduce the error probability.

* '''Server's preparation''': The server receives the two fingerprints from both the clients and prepares the operations to distinguish them. The server independently repeats the computation process with the fingerprints several times to reduce the error probability in detecting whether the equality of the two states.
