A blind signature scheme is a protocol for obtaining a digital signature from a signer, but the signer can neither learn the messages he/she sign nor the signatures the recipients obtain afterwards. Partially blind signature is a variant such that part of the message contains pre-agreed information (agreed by the signer and the signature requester) in unblinded form, while threshold blind signa...

In a blind signature scheme, the user can get a signature sig(m) on message m generated from the signer’s blind signature sig(m) on blinded message m, but the signer can’t know the contents of the message m. When the signature sig(m) is revealed to public after that have been signed, if the signer can find the linkage between the signature sig(m) and the blind signature sig(m) on blinded messag...

In this paper we propose a conversion from signature schemes connected to coding theory into blind signature schemes. We give formal security reductions to combinatorial problems not connected to number theory. This is the first blind signature scheme which can not be broken by quantum computers via cryptanalyzing the underlying signature scheme employing Shor’s algorithms. We thus present a st...

This paper formalizes the concept of threshold blind signatures (TBS) that bridges together properties of the two well-known signature flavors, blind signatures and threshold signatures. Using TBS users can obtain signatures through interaction with t-out-of-n signers without disclosing the corresponding message to any of them. Our construction is the first TBS scheme that achieves security in ...

A proxy blind signature scheme is a digital signature scheme which combines the properties of proxy signature and blind signature schemes. Recently, Tan et al. proposed two proxy blind signature schemes based on DLP and ECDLP respectively. Later, compared with Tan et al.’s scheme, Lal and Awasthi further proposed a more efficient proxy blind signature scheme. In this paper, we show that Tan et ...

In this letter, we show that Fan-Chen-Yeh’s blind signature scheme and Chien-Jan-Tseng’s partially blind signature scheme are vulnerable to the chosen–plaintext attack. We also show that both schemes can be modified so that the chosen– plaintext attack is impossible. But, still Chien-Jan-Tseng’s partially blind signature scheme is vulnerable. It fails to satisfy the partial blindness property. ...

Restrictive blind signatures allow a recipient to receive a blind signature on a message not known to the signer but the choice of message is restricted and must conform to certain rules. Partially blind signatures allow a signer to explicitly include necessary information (expiration date, collateral conditions, or whatever) in the resulting signatures under some agreement with receiver. Restr...

It is well-known that blind signature schemes provide full anonymity for the receiving user. For many real-world applications, however, this leaves too much room for fraud. There are two generalizations of blind signature schemes that compensate this weakness: fair blind signatures and partially blind signatures. Fair blind signature schemes allow a trusted third party to revoke blindness in ca...

The only known construction of identity-based blind signature schemes that are secure in the standard model is based on the generic approach of attaching certificates to ordinary (i.e. non-identity-based) blind signature schemes, and thus the identity-based blind signature schemes constructed using this method are somewhat inefficient and have long signature size. In this paper, we present the ...

A proxy blind signature scheme is a special form of blind signature which allowed a designated person called proxy signer to sign on behalf of two or more original signers without knowing the content of the message or document. It combines the advantages of proxy signature, blind signature and multi-signature scheme. This paper describes an efficient proxy blind multi-signature scheme. The secu...
