Abstract

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.

A new quantum group blind signature scheme based on GHZ states

Z. Hu, Yumin Dong

With the development of quantum computers, traditional communication security based on classical computers can no longer guarantee unconditional security. At the same time, a series of encrypted communication solutions that rely on quantum mechanical properties have been spawned. This article focuses on the field of quantum signatures, based on the entangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state, combining group signatures (any member of the group can sign on behalf of the group) and blind signatures (the signer cannot know the accuracy of the signature content) proposed a new quantum group blind signature scheme that utilizes quantum key distribution to achieve unconditional security. By splitting the original message, the scheme strengthens the relevance of the signature participants and makes the signature to have stronger binding. Then, the security of the scheme against internal and external attacks is analyzed. In this scheme, a pleasing efficiency has been achieved, and the non-repudiation of signatures has been enhanced. At the same time, disputed signatures can be traced back to the signer.

A quantum blind signature scheme for electronic payments

Siavash Khodambashi, Ali Zakerolhosseini

On-line merchants must have security protocol and procedures in place to carry out transactions more securely, Due to the popularity of e-commerce payment systems and the widespread use of the internet-based shopping and banking. In this paper we introduce an original blind signature based on quantum cryptographic principles providing unconditional security for off-line transactions. The proposed scheme guarantees the security of payment in real applications by the laws of quantum mechanics. We describe our proposed scheme in detail through a real example and discuss about its unconditional security.

Quantum blind dual-signature scheme without arbitrator

Wei Li, Ronghua Shi, Dazu Huang +2 more

Abstract Motivated by the elegant features of a bind signature, we suggest the design of a quantum blind dual-signature scheme with three phases, i.e., initial phase, signing phase and verification phase. Different from conventional schemes, legal messages are signed not only by the blind signatory but also by the sender in the signing phase. It does not rely much on an arbitrator in the verification phase as the previous quantum signature schemes usually do. The security is guaranteed by entanglement in quantum information processing. Security analysis demonstrates that the signature can be neither forged nor disavowed by illegal participants or attacker. It provides a potential application for e-commerce or e-payment systems with the current technology.

A Quantum Multi-agent Blind Signature Scheme

Jingjing Chen, Fucheng You

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].

An Identity-Based Quantum Partially Blind Signature Scheme Based on Quantum Teleportation

Juxiu Zhong, Rongbo Lu, Wei Li

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.
