ABSTRACT: Traditional digital signatures are based on mathematical hard problems that are vulnerable to quantum attacks. For privacy-sensitive applications such as electronic cash and electronic voting, partially blind signatures are preferable because they protect private messages while allowing signers to verify necessary public information. This paper proposes an identity-based quantum partially blind signature scheme based on quantum teleportation. Each signing session is assigned a unique identifier. The user blinds the private binary message by applying Pauli-X operations with a one-time random string, while public information remains visible to the signer. A trusted PKG performs identity authentication, signature authorization, session-key distribution, and time-period-based key lifecycle management. Quantum tags and quantum authentication codes provide verification and arbitration evidence, while quantum teleportation is used to transmit quantum information. In case of disputes, an arbitrator can verify independently stored quantum evidence, and channel monitoring enables the detection of eavesdropping and tampering. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme satisfies partial blindness, unforgeability, and non-repudiation, and resists malicious third-party attacks. It is suitable for privacy-preserving and restricted-authorization applications such as electronic cash and electronic voting.
