Arbitrated Proxy Signature Scheme Based on Quantum Cryptography
Xiuqing Wang, Jun Zhang · International Journal of Security and Its Applications · 2015
Proxy signature is a special signature which provided the signer can delegate his signing capability to others.The proxy signature provides that the original signer can delegate his signing permission to a proxy signer, and the proxy signer can replace the original signer to sign the message.In this paper, we propose a proxy signature scheme based on ideas from classical proxy signature schemes and quantum cryptography.The scheme is implemented by Bell states and a symmetrical quantum key cryptosystem.Compile with classical proxy signature schemes, the new scheme can guarantee the security by using quantum key distribution and one-time pads.And it also can prove that the scheme have the characteristics of non-counterfeit, non-disavowal and traceability.Furthermore, the new scheme uses a special quantum encryption to ensure the receiver cannot forge the signature.The validity of the new scheme can be verified, and it is a secure proxy signature scheme.
