A proxy blind signature protocol based on quantum teleportation

Abstract

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.
