For shared stabilizer and graph states, secret key distribution between two parties is possible exactly when they are inseparable, and for AME stabilizer states the help of any majority of parties is necessary and sufficient.

abstract
We analyse two party non-local games whose predicate requires Alice and Bob to generate matching bits, and their three party extensions where a third player receives all inputs and is required to output a bit that matches that of the original players. We propose a general device independent quantum key distribution protocol for the subset of such non-local games that satisfy a monogamy-of-entanglement property characterised by a gap in the maximum winning probability between the bipartite and tripartite versions of the game. This gap is due to the optimal strategy for two players requiring entanglement, which due to its monogamy property cannot be shared with any additional players. Based solely on the monogamy-of-entanglement property, we provide a simple proof of information theoretic security of our protocol. Lastly, we numerically optimize the finite and asymptotic secret key rates of our protocol using the magic square game as an example, for which we provide a numerical bound on the maximal tripartite quantum winning probability which closely matches the bipartite classical winning probability. Further, we show that our protocol is robust for depolarizing noise up to about $2.2\%$, providing the first such bound for general attacks for magic square based quantum key distribution.

Majority-Agreed Key Distribution using Absolutely Maximally Entangled Stabilizer States
For shared stabilizer and graph states, secret key distribution between two parties is possible exactly when they are inseparable, and for AME stabilizer states the help of any majority of parties is necessary and sufficient.
