Security Analysis of Particular Quantum Proxy Blind Signature Against the Forgery Attack

As an important topic of quantum cryptography, quantum proxy blind signature has attracted more and more attentions in recent years. However, with our analysis, it can be seen that there exists a common security loophole in two particular quantum proxy blind signature schemes, i.e., the receiver can forge a valid signature without being caught by others. In order to show that, the detailed attack strategy and the potential improved ideas are proposed in this paper.
