Novel quantum proxy signature scheme based on orthogonal quantum product states

Abstract

With further research, the theory of local discrimination of orthogonal product states (OPSs) becomes more and more perfect. In this paper, we present a quantum proxy signature (QPS) scheme based on a set of OPSs that cannot be exactly discriminated by local operations and classical communation (LOCC). Our scheme possesses all the properties of QPS. More importantly, no one can obtain any meaningful information of a signature owing to the different particles of an OPS are separately transmitted. We show that our scheme is secure by a detailed security analysis.
