International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The security analysis of a batch proxy quantum blind signature scheme is given, which shows it does not satisfy the verifiability of proxy blind signature. Furthermore, a malicious signature receiver can forge valid batch proxy blind signatures. Therefore, this scheme also does not satisfy the unforgeability of proxy blind signature in the sense. A feasible method to deal with these problems is also discussed in the end.
