Summary: This study proposes a new quantum multi-proxy blind signature scheme based on cluster states. The scheme allows for signature implementation without knowing the specific content and has properties such as blindness, undeniability, and unforgeability. Compared to existing schemes, this proposal utilizes fewer resources and achieves higher signature efficiency.

Summary: In this paper, we present two schemes for teleporting unknown entangled states using the physical characteristics of quantum mechanics. One scheme teleports a two-particle entangled state via a six-particle entangled channel, while the other scheme teleports a one-particle entangled state using a five-qubit cluster state in a two-way form. These schemes involve the use of one-way hash functions, Bell-state measurements, unitary operations, quantum key distribution protocol, and one-time pad.

Summary: Blind signatures are widely used for privacy preservation, and the use of delegation and proxy blind signatures becomes necessary when the signer cannot sign. Existing schemes are vulnerable to quantum attacks and have high overhead due to PKI. To simplify key management and resist quantum attacks, a post-quantum secure identity-based proxy blind signature (ID-Proxy-BS) scheme on a lattice is proposed, along with a quantum-resistant proxy e-voting system.

Summary: This paper introduces a new identity-based proxy signature scheme using NTRU lattice with message recovery. The scheme is more efficient than existing identity-based proxy signature schemes in terms of signature size and energy cost. The paper also discusses the application scenarios of the scheme in blockchain and Internet of Things. It provides a new idea for designing lattice signature schemes in low resource constrained environments.

Summary: The attack exploits a bias in the distribution of set bits in signatures to recover the private key. The SHMWW scheme was found to be insecure, as as few as 10 signatures were enough to successfully recover the private key, highlighting the challenges of designing secure and efficient code-based signature schemes.

Summary: In this paper, an anti-quantum blind signature scheme based on the lattice assumption has been proposed to enhance security and efficiency in blockchain systems, combining lattice cryptography and blind signature technology. The proposed scheme meets the properties of blindness and one-more unforgeability while proving to be safe in the random oracle model. The efficiency analysis and comparison results show that the proposed scheme is more efficient and has a more stable signature size compared to similar literature and other cryptosystems.

Summary: We investigate the security assumptions of three public-key quantum money schemes and confirm the insecurity of Aaronson and Christiano's scheme as well as Zhandry's scheme by providing polynomial time quantum algorithms to solve their underlying problems. We also propose a quantum reduction from the hard problem in Kane et al.'s scheme to a linear algebra problem. Our findings highlight the importance of further cryptanalysis in this area.
