Abstract

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.

A novel quantum broadcasting multiparty blind signature scheme

Zhenqiang Li, Hui-Juan Zuo

Abstract In the manuscript, we propose a novel quantum broadcasting multiparty blind signature scheme via quantum controlled teleportation. The four-particle cluster states play a role of the quantum channel in our scheme. An improved model of quantum one-time pads for encryption is introduced in the protocol, which ensures the quantum message is not to be tampered with. The security of our scheme is analyzed from the four aspects of blindness, traceability, undeniability and unforgeability.

Security analysis of quantum broadcasting multiple blind signature scheme based on quantum teleportation

Wei Zhang, Daowen Qiu, Xiangfu Zou

Recently, a broadcasting multiple blind signature scheme based on quantum teleportation has been proposed for the first time. It is claimed to have unconditional security and properties of quantum multiple signature and quantum blind signature. In this paper, we analyze the security of the protocol and show that the signatory Ui can learn the signed message m by a single particle measurement and the signed message m can be modified at random by anyone according to the scheme. Furthermore, there are some participant attacks and external attacks existing in the scheme. Finally we present an improved protocol and show that the improved scheme can resist all of the mentioned attacks. Meanwhile, the secret keys can be used again and again, which will make it more efficient and practical.

A proxy blind signature protocol based on quantum teleportation

Yulu Wang, Dianjun Lu, Sihui Ma

With the advancement of quantum cryptography, proxy blind signature technology combines the message concealment of blind signatures with the delegation of authority inherent in proxy signatures, thereby simultaneously ensuring message privacy and the controlled delegation of signing authority, and playing a critical role in numerous fields. This paper proposes a quantum proxy blind signature protocol based on quantum teleportation. This protocol has the following features: First, by simplifying the keys and the encryption process and using a pseudorandom number generator and quantum state permutations to perform encryption, we avoid complex unitary transformations, thereby significantly lowering the technical barrier. Second, by employing high-capacity quantum encoding — where a two-particle quantum state encodes three classical bits — the information capacity of a single communication session is significantly increased. Finally, we propose the “local operation, global signature” paradigm, in which the surrogate need only manipulate a single entangled particle to achieve a global signature through nonlocality, while the verifier recovers the message via a joint measurement. This approach conserves quantum resources and simplifies the verification process. The security analysis demonstrates that the proposed protocol can ensure blindness, satisfy the requirements of unforgeability and undeniability, and effectively resistance to interception-retransmission attacks.

A multi-party verifiable quantum proxy blind signature scheme based on controlled quantum teleportation

Chengxiang Wang, Dianjun Lu, Fuyao Tian +1 more

Abstract When the original signer is unable to sign and the proxy signer does not know the information content, proxy blind signature comes into being and becomes a hot topic in cryptography research. This paper combines the methods of proxy blind signature, controlled quantum teleportation and multi-party verification, and proposes a multi-party verifiable quantum proxy blind signature scheme based on controlled quantum teleportation. This scheme has the following features: using a Hash function shared by all participants for authentication can effectively solve the problem of identity identification among members; in order to facilitate the original signer to ensure the security of proxy authorization, the quantum proxy signature authorization form is used to generate quantum states with mutual unbiased fundamental particles. The security analysis shows that the scheme is unforgeable and undeniable, and can resist intercept-forgery attack and collusive attack.

Blind Digital Signature schemes with four particle entanglement states

S. Suparshya Babu, Razan Abdulhammed, Khaled M. Elleithy +1 more

Quantum Digital Signature (QDS) schemes provides authenticity of information that is guaranteed by quantum mechanics. This paper compares the blind signature schemes with two and three-bit quantum state bits and provides a implementation for the four quantum states. We proposed a technique where four partial entangled states are used to implement the blind signature scheme. The proposed technique improves the reliability factor of the scheme in terms of its encryption and decryption using quantum cryptosystem for interchanging the data in a protected mode. In the communication system, the encryption of messages was done with the help of the sender's private key. The third party verifies its authenticity along with blindness of the signature. Furthermore, future research trends were presented with a security analysis.

Secure and practical multiparty quantum digital signatures

Chen-Xun Weng, Yu-Shuo Lu, Rui-Qi Gao +6 more

Quantum digital signatures (QDSs) promise information-theoretic security against repudiation and forgery of messages. Compared with currently existing three-party QDS protocols, multiparty protocols have unique advantages in the practical case of more than two receivers when sending a mass message. However, complex security analysis, numerous quantum channels and low data utilization efficiency make it intractable to expand three-party to multiparty scenario. Here, based on six-state non-orthogonal encoding protocol, we propose an effective multiparty QDS framework to overcome these difficulties. The number of quantum channels in our protocol only linearly depends on the number of users. The post-matching method is introduced to enhance data utilization efficiency and make it linearly scale with the probability of detection events even for five-party scenario. Our work compensates for the absence of practical multiparty protocols, which paves the way for future QDS networks.
