• Abstract: Quantum secret sharing (QSS) is the result of merging the principles of quantum mechanics with secret information sharing. It enables a sender to share a secret among receivers, and the receivers can then collectively recover the secret when the need arises. To enhance the practicality of these quantum protocols, an innovative concept of quantum anonymous secret sharing (QASS) is advanced. In this paper, we propose a QASS protocol via W states, which can share secrets while ensuring recover-ability, recover-security, and recover-anonymity. We have rigorously evaluated our protocols, verifying their accuracy and fortifying their security against scenarios involving the active adversary. This includes considerations for dishonest receivers and non-receivers. Moreover, acknowledging the imperfections inherent in real-world communication channels, we have also undertaken an exhaustive analysis of our protocol's security and effectiveness in a quantum network where some form of noise is present. Our investigations reveal that W states exhibit good performance in mitigating noise interference, making them apt for practical applications.
