Abstract
Proxy blind Signature is a digital signature where an original signer delegates his/her signing capability to a proxy signer who performs message signing blindly, on behalf of original signer but he cannot make a linkage between the blind signature and the identity of the message’s owner. Recently, Qi et al proposed an improved proxy blind signature scheme based on factoring and elliptic curve discrete log problem (ECDLP). In this paper we show that Qi et al’s scheme does not hold the identifiability and unlinkability properties. Moreover, we also point out that their scheme is not secure against universal forgery attack. Furthermore, we propose an improved proxy blind signature scheme to remedy the weaknesses of Qi et al.’s scheme. The security and performance of the improved scheme are also analyzed.
