“…Only the designated verifier is able to validate the signature in the scheme. Zheng et al [9] presented a scheme that can be deployed over the existing quantum key distribution networks without complex quantum operations. The correlated key strings are generated by the use of the scheme protecting the communication against potential eavesdroppers.…”

With the promotion of Remote Medical Treatment, the sharing of big telemedicine data becomes more and more popular. Telemedicine based on wireless sensor networks collects blood pressure, pH value, pulse, and other medical information from the telemedicine healthcare terminal. The medical information is sent to the hospital or medical server for processing. The security protection of patient medical data, such as confidentiality and authenticity, has gradually become a critical problem to be solved in the development of cloud medical service platform. A provably secure identity-based designated-verifier proxy signature scheme with information recovery for cloud medical diagnosis network is proposed. The scheme is on the basis of computational Diffie-Hellman difficult problem and existential unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks in the random oracle model. The performance analysis shows that the scheme is appropriate to the remote medical diagnosis system.

“…And in the meantime, our scheme can resist inter-resending attacks and impersonation attacks. The scheme in [31] need not any third party, while in the similar schemes in reference [26], [27], [29] and [30], the third participants must be absolutely trusted, which is a strong assumption in the virtual network. Therefore, our STQDVS scheme can be a scheme with weak trust assumption.…”

“…Zheng et al have designed a new QDVS by combining the underlying quantum key distribution and the QDVS ideas [30], in which the eavesdropping behavior in the process of communication can be effectively detected. In the veri cation step of their scheme, the DV believed the signature was valid when the key string mismatch rate inequality was satis ed, so the veri cation result was probabilistic.…”

Designated veri er signature (DVS) schemes can be applied in many scenes, such as E-voting and Ebidding use DVS attributes to protect the secret of participants. Most traditional DVS schemes are vulnerable to quantum computer attacks. Then, an identity-based semi-trusted third-party quantum DVS (STQDVS) scheme is proposed, which is safe for quantum means of attack. In new STQDVS scheme, the third participant prepares entangled Bell states and allocates them to the signer and the designated veri er (DV). The signer uses the identity information as her public key and the measurement results of corresponding quantum sequences as her private key to generate the signature. The DV applies the identity information as his public key and the measurement results of corresponding quantum sequences as her private key to verify the signature. Non-transferability and hidden origin are guaranteed by the fact that the DV can generate the same signature as the signatory by means of a simulated signature step. Security analysis has shown that attacks such as forgery, inter-resending, and impersonation are ineffective for the proposed scheme and that even third-party cannot forge signatures. On the other hand, the whole process of the scheme does not require any quantum key distribution protocols, quantum oneway functions, and quantum state exchange tests, which makes the STQDVS scheme relatively simple and more e cient than similar schemes.

The energy sector is expected to undergo significant changes in the coming decades with the advent of new technologies, including smart grid development, microgrid expansion, increasing electric vehicle and renewable energy usage, and enhanced measures to minimize greenhouse gas emission, among others. In tandem, these changes are expected to create new opportunities for the deployment of quantum technologies within the energy sector. Building on the authors' previous reviews on the current state of and future opportunities for quantum sensing, quantum computing and quantum simulations for energy sector applications, this work provides an overview of recent progress in quantum networking and communications for the energy industry, with a focus on platforms, devices, and protocols, including quantum teleportation and quantum key distribution. Specific areas of relevance to the energy sector are then analyzed, including the role of quantum networks for greenhouse gas monitoring, secure data collection and transmission in smart grids, nuclear power plants’ safety, facilitating oil and gas exploration, and other energy‐relevant applications. This review concludes with a brief overview of areas for future innovation, including the need for platforms for simulating quantum networks, quantum material and platform design, and computational approaches to accelerate quantum protocol discovery and development.
