Fair quantum blind signatures

Tian‐Yin Wang, Wen Qiao-yan

Published Jun 1, 2010• 74 citations

Abstract

We present a new fair blind signature scheme based on the fundamental properties of quantum mechanics. In addition, we analyse the security of this scheme, and show that it is not possible to forge valid blind signatures. Moreover, comparisons between this scheme and public key blind signature schemes are also discussed.

PARTIALLY BLIND SIGNATURES BASED ON QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY

Xiao‐Qiu Cai, HUI-FANG NIU

In a partially blind signature scheme, the signer explicitly includes pre-agreed common information in the blind signature, which can improve the availability and performance. We present a new partially blind signature scheme based on fundamental properties of quantum mechanics. In addition, we analyze the security of this scheme, and show it is not possible to forge valid partially blind signatures. Moreover, the comparisons between this scheme and those based on public-key cryptography are also discussed.

Cryptanalysis of fair quantum blind signatures

Li-Bao He, Liusheng Huang, Wei Yang +1 more

We investigate the fair quantum blind signature scheme proposed by Wang and Wen [Wang T Y and Wen Q Y 2010 Chin. Phys. B 19 060307 ], which uses the fundamental properties of quantum mechanics and the availability of a trusted arbitrator. However, in this paper, we find that the protocol cannot satisfy the property of non-forgeability even under the condition that the trusted arbitrator is totally credible. Moreover, a simple feasible suggestion for improving the protocol is proposed.

Re-examining the security of blind quantum signature protocols

Ming‐Ming Wang, Xiu‐Bo Chen, Xinxin Niu +1 more

Recently, blind quantum signature (BQS) protocols have been proposed with the help of a third-party verifier. However, our research shows that some of the BQS protocols are unable to complete the blind signature task fairly if the verifier is dishonest. Indeed, these protocols can be viewed as variants of the classical digital signature scheme of symmetric-key cryptography. If nobody is trusted in such protocols, digital signature cannot be implemented since disagreements cannot be solved fairly.

A Weak Blind Signature Based on Quantum Key Distribution

Siavash Khodambashi, Ali Zakerolhosseini

Recently, the laws of quantum physics have amazed classical cryptography and aided researchers to provide secure communications in presence of adversaries. In this paper we present a novel weak blind signature scheme whose security is guaranteed by fundamental principles of quantum physics. Despite previous schemes which are taking advantage of quantum entangled states, our proposed quantum blind signature relies only on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol. We show throughout this paper that our proposed quantum weak blind signature achieves a good position in security and reliability. In addition, it is feasible for the proposed scheme to become commercialized with current technology. Hence, it can be widely used for e-payment, e-government, e-business and etc.

Analysis of the Fair Quantum Blind Signature

Yifan Zhang

The paper uses the uncertainty principle and nocloning theorem; then combines the fundamental properties of quantum mechanics with the cryptographic hash function together; after that proposes a new security quantum blind signature.The analysis of security shows that the improved scheme has the feature of non-forgery, non-disavowal.Compares with other quantum signature, the new scheme needn't to update the signer's transmission private key and it can avoid the signer's private key being exposed by the sender.Moreover, the improved scheme has guiding significance value to further optimal design quantum blind signature and quantum signature, etc.
