Abstract
A protocol for multiparty quantum secret splitting (MQSS) with an ordered $N$ Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs and Bell state measurements is recently proposed by Deng {\rm et al.} [Phys. Lett. A 354(2006)190]. We analyzed the security of the protocol and found that this protocol is secure for any other eavesdropper except for the agent Bob who adopts intercept-and-resend attack. Bob can obtain all the information of Alice's alone without being found. We also propose an improved version of the MQSS protocol.
