Abstract
In a proxy blind signature scheme, the proxy signer is allowed to generate a blind signature on behalf of the original signer. The proxy blind signature scheme is useful in several applications such as e-voting and e-payment. In this paper, we propose an identity-based proxy blind signature scheme which combines the advantages of proxy signature and of blind signature. Our scheme fulfills perfectly the security requirements of a proxy blind signature. Comparing the previous scheme, our scheme needs less computational overhead and is more efficient.
