Quantum secret sharing is an extension of quantum key distribution to more than two parties, in such a way that all N partners have to cooperate to obtain a secure key [1]. We show how this multiparty secure communication scheme can be implemented experimentally using a polarisation entangled 4-photon state. This state is a superposition of a 4 photon GHZ-state and a product of two BELL-states. The state shows perfect correlations and violates a generalized Bell inequality. The easy generation of this state and the relative high visibility enable for the first time the realization of a 4-party quantum communication protocol.
