A Novel Quantum Blind Signature Scheme with Four-Particle Cluster States

In an arbitrated quantum signature scheme, the signer signs the message and the receiver verifies the signature’s validity with the assistance of the arbitrator. We present an arbitrated quantum blind signature scheme by measuring four-particle cluster states and coding. By using the special relationship of four-particle cluster states, we cannot only support the security of quantum signature, but also guarantee the anonymity of the message owner. It has a wide application to E-payment system, E-government, E-business, and etc.     

Blind Quantum Signature with Blind Quantum Computation

Blind quantum computation allows a client without quantum abilities to interact with a quantum server to perform a unconditional secure computing protocol, while protecting client’s privacy. Motivated by confidentiality of blind quantum computation, a blind quantum signature scheme is designed with laconic structure. Different from the traditional signature schemes, the signing and verifying operations are performed through measurement-based quantum computation. Inputs of blind quantum computation are securely controlled with multi-qubit entangled states. The unique signature of the transmitted message is generated by the signer without leaking information in imperfect channels. Whereas, the receiver can verify the validity of the signature using the quantum matching algorithm. The security is guaranteed by entanglement of quantum system for blind quantum computation. It provides a potential practical application for e-commerce in the cloud computing and first-generation quantum computation.     

Bidirectional Quantum Secure Communication Based on One-Dimensional Four-Particle Cluster States

Using one-dimensional four-particle cluster states, we propose a bidirectional quantum secure communication protocol, in which the information leakage does not exist. In order to judge whether two sequences composed of cluster states are transmitted safely, two batches of decoy particles are used. Moreover, we show that this protocol is secure against eavesdropping.     

A Novel Quantum Blind Signature Scheme with Four-particle GHZ States

In an arbitrated quantum signature scheme, the signer signs the message and the receiver verifies the signature’s validity with the assistance of the arbitrator. We present an arbitrated quantum blind signature scheme by using four-particle entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. By using the special relationship of four-particle GHZ states, we cannot only support the security of quantum signature, but also guarantee the anonymity of the message owner. It has a wide application to E-payment system, E-government, E-business, and etc.     

Controlled Teleportation Using Four-Particle Cluster State

A controlled teleportation scheme is presented. In this scheme, quantum information of a single-qubit state or an entangled two-qubits state is transmitted from a sender (Alice) to a receiver (Charlie) via a four-particle cluster state under the control of the supervisor (Bob). The feature of this scheme is that the teleportation between the sender and the receiver depends on the control of the supervisor.     

Two Quantum Proxy Blind Signature Schemes Based on Controlled Quantum Teleportation

We present a scheme for teleporting an unknown, two-particle entangled state with a message from a sender (Alice) to a receiver (Bob) via a six-particle entangled channel. We also present another scheme for teleporting an unknown one-particle entangled state with a message transmitted in a two-way form between the same sender and receiver via a five-qubit cluster state. One-way hash functions, Bell-state measurements, and unitary operations are adopted in these two schemes. Our schemes use the physical characteristics of quantum mechanics to implement delegation, signature, and verification processes. Moreover, a quantum key distribution protocol and a one-time pad are adopted in these schemes.

Multiparty Quantum Blind Signature Scheme Based on Graph States

A multiparty quantum blind signature scheme is proposed based on the principle of graph state, in which the unitary operations of graph state particles can be applied to generate the quantum blind signature and achieve verification. Different from the classical blind signature based on the mathematical difficulty, the scheme could guarantee not only the anonymity but also the unconditionally security. The analysis shows that the length of the signature generated in our scheme does not become longer as the number of signers increases, and it is easy to increase or decrease the number of signers.     

A Controller-Independent Quantum Dialogue Protocol with Four-Particle States

Controller-independent quantum dialogue (CIQD) is a significant topic in the research of quantum secure direct communication (QSDC). In this paper, we propose a new CIQD protocol with a special kind of four-particle entangled states. From our security analysis, it can be seen that the information leakage which is a serious problem in many CIQD protocols will be prevented in our protocol. Moreover, the presented protocol can resist many existing attacks, including intercept-and-resend attack, entangle-and-measure attack, fake entangled particles attack.

Schemes for Splitting Quantum Information with Four-Particle Genuine Entangled States

We propose two schemes for splitting single- and two-qubit states by using four-particle genuine entangled state as the quantum channel. After the sender performs Bell-basis （or three-partite GHZ- basis） measurements on her particles, and the cooperators operate single-particle measurements on their particles, the state receiver can reconstruct the original state of the sender by applying the appropriate unitary operation. In particular, in the scheme for splitting two-qubit state, the receiver needs to introduce an auxiliary particle and carries out a C-NOT operation.     

Quantum Private Comparison Using Genuine Four-Particle Entangled States

In this paper, a quantum private comparison protocol is proposed based on χ-type state. According to the protocol, two parties can determine the equality of their information with the assistant of a semi-honest third party. Due to utilizing quantum superdense coding, this protocol provides a high efficiency and capacity. Moreover, its security is also discussed.     

Cryptanalysis of Quantum Blind Signature Scheme

In this paper, we study the cryptanalysis of two quantum blind signature schemes and one quantum proxy blind signature protocol. We show that in these protocols the verifier can forge the signature under known message attack. The attack strategies are described in detail respectively. This kind of problem deserves more research attention in the following related study. We further point out that the arbitrator should be involved in the procedure of any dispute and some discussions of these protocols are given.     

Multi-proxy Strong Blind Quantum Signature Scheme

A multi-proxy strong blind quantum signature scheme is proposed in this paper. An original signatory Alice delegates her signing authority to a group of proxy signatories by using a classical warrant. A blind factor is introduced by a sender U to blind a message, and the proxy signatories sign the message blindly via applying appropriate unitary operators. A receiver Bob verifies the generated signature with the help of an arbitrator Trent. The security of this scheme is based on a quantum key distribution protocol, a quantum one-time pad and other quantum properties. It is proved that our scheme has the properties of non-disavowal, non-counterfeit, multi-proxy, blindness, untraceability and can resist some common attacks.

Arbitrated Quantum Signature with Hamiltonian Algorithm Based on Blind Quantum Computation

A novel arbitrated quantum signature (AQS) scheme is proposed motivated by the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA) and blind quantum computation (BQC). The generation and verification of signature algorithm is designed based on HA, which enables the scheme to rely less on computational complexity. It is unnecessary to recover original messages when verifying signatures since the blind quantum computation is applied, which can improve the simplicity and operability of our scheme. It is proved that the scheme can be deployed securely, and the extended AQS has some extensive applications in E-payment system, E-government, E-business, etc.
