Comment on “Quantum Signature Scheme with Weak Arbitrator”

International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This comment explains that the quantum signature scheme proposed by Ming-Xing Luo et al. (in Int. J. Theor. Phys. 51:2134, 2012) cannot satisfy the signature requirements. The comment presents methods of possible attacks by forgers, while also demonstrating that it is difficult to proceed by the normal protocol because of some errors in the formula of the scheme.
