Abstract

In this paper, we show a new quantum proxy blind signature scheme based on single particle superdense coding. We only need perform unitary operator on single qubit to blind 2-bit classical information. The scheme also satisfies the properties of blindness, unforgeability and undeniability. It has a wide application to e-payment, e-voting, e-government, and etc.
