Abstract

In this paper, a very efficient and secure multi-proxy multi-blind-signature scheme is proposed which is based on controlled quantum teleportation. Genuine six-qubit entangled state functions as quantum channel. The scheme uses the physical characteristics of quantum mechanics to guarantee its unforgeability, undeniability, blindness and unconditional security.
