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.展开更多

An ID-based scheme of fair exchange of digital signature is proposed in this paper. The protocol relies on a trusted third party, but is "optimistic", in that the third party is only needed in cases where one player attempts to cheat or simply crashes. The proposed scheme has properties of short signature, low computation and verification cost. It can realize exchange of digital signatures fairly and effic, iently. A key feature of our scheme is that it is identity-based, which needs no certificates and has a simple key management. To our best knowledge, this is the first identity based scheme of fair exchange of digital signatures.展开更多

In this paper, we show that Bao et al's scheme is vulnerable to the forgery attack. An adversary can forge a valid threshold proxy signature for any message with knowing a previously valid threshold proxy signature. In addition, their scheme also suffers from the weakness that the proxy signers might change the threshold value. That is, the proxy signers can arbitrarily modify the threshold strategy without being detected by the original signer or verifiers, which might violate the original signer's intent. Furthermore, we propose an improved scheme that remedies the weaknesses of Bao et al's scheme. The improved scheme satisfies all secure requirements for threshold proxy signature.展开更多

System abnormalities or illegal operations can befound in time by analyzing the log and provide evidence for intrusions. In orderto ensure the integrity of the log in the current system, many researchers havedesigned it based on blockchain. However, the emerging blockchain is facing significant security challenges with the increment of quantum computers. An attackerequipped with a quantum computer can extract the user's private key from thepublic key to generate a forged signature, destroy the structure of the blockchain,and threaten the security of the log system. Thus, blind signature on the lattice inpost-quantum blockchain brings new security features for log systems. In ourpaper, to address these, firstly, we propose a novel log system based on post-quantum blockchain that can resist quantum computing attacks. Secondly, we utilize apost-quantum blind signature on the lattice to ensure both security and blindnessof log system, which makes the privacy of log information to a large extent.Lastly, we enhance the security level of lattice-based blind signature under therandom oracle model, and the signature size grows slowly compared with others.We also implement our protocol and conduct an extensive analysis to prove theideas. The results show that our scheme signature size edges up subtly comparedwith others with the improvement of security level.展开更多

This paper first presents a new blind signature scheme from Weil pairing on elliptic curves. Based on this scheme, a threshold blind signature scheme is proposed. It is efficient and has the security properties of robustness and unforgeability. In the proposed scheme, the group manger is introduced to take the role of distributing the group secret key to each player. However, he cannot forge the players to generate partial blind signatures (Each partial blind signature depends on not only the secret key of the player, but also a random number the player picks). Compared with a threshold signature with a trusted third party, its advantage is obvious; Compared with a threshold signature without a trusted third party, it is more simple and efficient.展开更多

Based on this method, the four proxy blind signature schemes are correspondently generated with four different signature equations, and each of them has four forms of variations of signs. Hence there are sixteen signatures in all, and all of them are proxy stronglyblind signature schemes. Furthermore, the two degenerated situations of multi-linear transform are discussed. Their corresponding proxy blind signature schemes are shown, too. But some schemes come from one of these degenerate situations are proxy weakly-blind signature scheme.The security for proposed scheme is analyzed in details. The results indicate that these signature schemes have many good properties such as unforgeability, distinguish-ability of proxy signature,non-repudiation and extensive value of application etc.展开更多

If location information falls into the wrong hands, an adversary can physically locate a person. To address this privacy issue, Qi et al.(2004a; 2004b) proposed a special and feasible architecture, using blind signature to generate an authorized anonymous ID replacing the real ID of a legitimate mobile user. The original purpose of his architecture was to eliminate the relationship of authorized anonymous ID and real ID. We present an algorithm to break out Qi’s registration and re-confusion protocol, and then propose a new mechanism based on bilinear pairings to protect location privacy. Moreover we show that the administrator or third parity cannot obtain information on the legitimate user’s authorized anonymous ID and real ID in our proposed protocols.展开更多

文摘In a proxy blind signature scheme,the proxy signer is allowed to generate a blind signature on behalf of the original signer. The proxy blind signature scheme is useful in several applications such as e-voting,e-payment,etc. Recently,Zheng,et al. presented an IDentity(ID) -based proxy blind sig-nature. In this paper,a new efficient ID-based proxy blind signature scheme from bilinear pairings is proposed,which can satisfy the security properties of both the proxy signatures and the blind signature schemes. Analysis of the scheme efficiency shows that the new scheme is more efficient than Zheng,et al.'s scheme. The proposed scheme is more practical in the real world.

文摘Location privacy means a user keeps his/her geographical location secret. If location information falls into the wrong hands, an adversary can physically locate a person. To address this privacy issue, Qi et al.(2004a; 2004b) proposed a special and feasible architecture, using blind signature to generate an authorized anonymous ID replacing the real ID of a legitimate mobile user. The original purpose of his architecture was to eliminate the relationship of authorized anonymous ID and real ID. We present an algorithm to break out Qi’s registration and re-confusion protocol, and then propose a new mechanism based on bilinear pairings to protect location privacy. Moreover we show that the administrator or third parity cannot obtain information on the legitimate user’s authorized anonymous ID and real ID in our proposed protocols.
