In this article, we are interested in the physical model of general quantum protocols implementing secure two-party computations in the light of Mayers' and Lo's & Chau's no-go theorems of bit commitment and oblivious transfer. In contrast to the commonly adobted quantum pure two-party model in the literature where classical communication is normally ignored, we propose an alternative interpretation for the purification of classical communication in two-party protocols by introducing a quantum third party for the classical channel. This interpretation leads to a global three-party model, involving Alice's and Bob's machines and the environment coupled to the macroscopic channel, using the decoherence scheme in quantum measurements. This model could give a more general view on the concealing/binding trade-off of quantum bit commitment protocols. Inspired from this three-party interpretation, we extend the no-go theorems for denying some classes of two-party protocols having access to some particular quantum trusted third-parties, known as quantum two-party oracles. The extension implies that a quantum protocol for implementing secure two-party computations musts have access to a trusted third-party which erases information and thus makes dissipation of heat to the environment.
