Abstract

Quantum information hiding, which is a popular topic in quantum information, can be chosen as an alternative method for privacy protection. As the latest developments of classical information hiding in quantum scenario, quantum information hiding employs the effects of quantum information and quantum computation to achieve the target of information hiding by utilizing quantum states as the carriers of information transmission. Since it was first proposed in 2001, quantum information hiding has been developed very fast. In this paper, quantum information hiding protocols are divided into three categories, including quantum steganography, quantum covert channel and quantum watermarking, according to the application purpose. And then every class of the quantum information hiding protocols are described respectively. At the end of the paper, the new trends on the quantum information hiding research and the perspective of quantum information hiding research are given.
