Abstract With the development of information society, people are increasingly concerned about the security problems caused by information leakage, and digital signatures play an irreplaceable and important role in the protection of information security, which replace traditional manual signatures and seals in the network environment and have important roles such as anti-forgery, anti-tampering, anti-replay, identifiable identity and confidentiality [1]. However, with the in-depth study of quantum mechanics, it has been found that the confidentiality mechanism of classical digital signatures is under serious threat. Since quantum computing is a parallel operation with exponentially increasing operational capability, a series of complex mathematically difficult problems can be rapidly overcome. Based on the above, this paper proposes a multiple agent blind signature scheme, which adopts the key technologies such as the Unitary transformation and Hadamard gate operation, and adds multiple agent signature to quantum signature to improve the efficiency of the protocol, and adds blind signature to improve the security of the protocol. At the same time, the scheme uses quantum key distribution to ensure its unconditional security, which is applicable in systems such as electronic voting and electronic payment, and has certain anti-attack capability [2].

Abstract With the development of information society, network security problems are becoming more and more serious, and digital signature as an authentication method is widely used in many fields such as information security and e-commerce, mainly to solve security problems such as forgery, repudiation, impersonation and tampering [1]. The latest quantum technology can overcome a series of difficult problems of classical digital signatures in a very short time. In this paper, we propose a quantum multiproxy blind signature scheme, in which the original signer is unable to sign the document himself, and delegates multiple proxy signers to sign and verify the document, and the signature order of the proxy signers is not restricted. The scheme adopts techniques such as Unitary transformation and Hadamard gate, and uses quantum key distribution protocol to ensure its security, which improves the efficiency of signature, ensures the security of signature, and has certain anti-attack capability.
Quantum digital signature, as an extension of classical digital signature, has become an important research content in quantum cryptography. Quantum blind signature combines the advantages of classical blind signature and quantum signature, which can ensure the unconditional security of the scheme based on the realization of the blinded signature of the message, and can be effectively applied in many real-world scenarios. This paper uses the four-particle [Formula: see text] state as a communication channel, combined with quantum teleportation technology to propose a new quantum multi-party blind signature protocol, which has the following characteristics: First, the Toeplitz hash function based on the linear shift register is introduced to blind the message, and the length of the blinded message can be adjusted according to the actual demand to increase the flexibility of the scheme; Second, through multi-party participation, the blind signature of multi-bit messages can be realized, and the signature efficiency can be improved. Compared with other quantum blind signatures, the signature efficiency has been greatly improved; Finally, using the four-particle [Formula: see text] state as a quantum channel can make the scheme use fewer resources to transmit data and increases the security of the scheme. Through security analysis, it can be seen that the scheme has blindness, nonrepudiation and unforgeability.
Traditional digital signatures are based on mathematical hard problems that are vulnerable to quantum attacks. For privacy-sensitive applications such as electronic cash and electronic voting, partially blind signatures are preferable because they protect private messages while allowing signers to verify necessary public information. This paper proposes an identity-based quantum partially blind signature scheme based on quantum teleportation. Each signing session is assigned a unique identifier. The user blinds the private binary message by applying Pauli-X operations with a one-time random string, while public information remains visible to the signer. A trusted PKG performs identity authentication, signature authorization, session-key distribution, and time-period-based key lifecycle management. Quantum tags and quantum authentication codes provide verification and arbitration evidence, while quantum teleportation is used to transmit quantum information. In case of disputes, an arbitrator can verify independently stored quantum evidence, and channel monitoring enables the detection of eavesdropping and tampering. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme satisfies partial blindness, unforgeability, and non-repudiation, and resists malicious third-party attacks. It is suitable for privacy-preserving and restricted-authorization applications such as electronic cash and electronic voting.
In this paper, a new E-payment system based on quantum blind and group signature is proposed. Existing E-payment systems based on classical cryptography cannot guarantee the security with the emergency of quantum computers. Compared to the existing E-payment system, our quantum E-payment scheme could protect not only the user's anonymity but also the inner structure of customer group. In addition, our system adopts quantum key distribution, one-time pad, and audit mechanism to ensure unconditional security.
In some schemes, quantum blind signatures require the use of difficult-to-prepare multiparticle entangled states. By considering the communication overhead, quantum operation complexity, verification efficiency and other relevant factors in practical situations, this article proposes a non-entangled quantum blind signature scheme based on dense encoding. The information owner utilizes dense encoding and hash functions to blind the information while reducing the use of quantum resources. After receiving particles, the signer encrypts the message using a one-way function and performs a Hadamard gate operation on the selected single photon to generate the signature. Then the verifier performs a Hadamard gate inverse operation on the signature and combines it with the encoding rules to restore the message and complete the verification. Compared with some typical quantum blind signature protocols, this protocol has strong blindness in privacy protection, and higher flexibility in scalability and application. The signer can adjust the signature operation according to the actual situation, which greatly simplifies the complexity of the signature. By simultaneously utilizing the secondary distribution and rearrangement of non-entangled quantum states, a non-entangled quantum state representation of three bits of classical information is achieved, reducing the use of a large amount of quantum resources and lowering implementation costs. This improves both signature verification efficiency and communication efficiency while, at the same time, this scheme meets the requirements of unforgeability, non-repudiation, and prevention of information leakage.
Digital signatures are widely used in electronic communications, for example in electronic commerce and e-mail. But classical digital signature scheme only offer security relying on computational assumptions. In contrast, quantum digital signatures provide security based on fundamental principles of quantum physics. Quantum group signatures provide anonymity for signatory, quantum blind signatures provide confidentiality for signed messages. In this paper we demonstrate a quantum group blind signature scheme which have the properties both of group signatures and blind signatures. Besides, the security of our scheme is guaranteed by the quantum mechanics, so without any computational assumption. the group property and blind property of our scheme profits from the properties of the measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC). Our quantum group blind signature scheme can be widely used in e-voting system, e-cash, e-commerce, etc.
