Abstract

Blind signature can be deployed to preserve user anonymity and is widely used in digital cash and e-voting. As an interactive protocol, blind signature schemes require high efficiency. In this paper, we propose a code-based blind signature scheme with high efficiency as it can produce a valid signature without many loops unlike existing code-based signature schemes. We then prove the security of our scheme in the random oracle model and analyze the efficiency of our scheme. Since a code-based signature scheme is post-quantum cryptography, therefore, the scheme is also able to resist quantum attacks.
