This [https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0102001 example protocol] allows two parties (two quantum clients) to distinguish their quantum inputs while maintaining the privacy of their own input by comparing their fingerprints alone. The protocol does not permit the two parties to interact directly with each other, hence they send the fingerprints of their respective inputs to a trusted third party (quantum server), where the third party tests that distinguishes two unknown quantum fingerprints with high probability. The quantum fingerprints are exponentially shorter than the original inputs. | This [https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0102001 example protocol] allows two parties (two quantum clients) to distinguish their quantum inputs while maintaining the privacy of their own input by comparing their fingerprints alone.

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. | Here, two quantum clients want to check if their quantum inputs are distinct while also keeping their inputs secret.

If the initial inputs of the two parties are equal, this would be inferred from the corresponding fingerprints with no error probability and the outcome of the protocol would be correct. However, if the two fingerprints are of different inputs, there exists a non-zero probability that the outcome of the protocol is incorrect. Therefore, there exists a one sided error in the measurement. This one sided error is reduced by repeating the server operations several times with the same fingerprints. | |||
