• Abstract: Quantum digital signatures (QDSs) promise information-theoretic security against repudiation and forgery of messages. Compared with currently existing three-party QDS protocols, multiparty protocols have unique advantages in the practical case of more than two receivers when sending a mass message. However, complex security analysis, numerous quantum channels and low data utilization efficiency make it intractable to expand three-party to multiparty scenario. Here, based on six-state non-orthogonal encoding protocol, we propose an effective multiparty QDS framework to overcome these difficulties. The number of quantum channels in our protocol only linearly depends on the number of users. The post-matching method is introduced to enhance data utilization efficiency and make it linearly scale with the probability of detection events even for five-party scenario. Our work compensates for the absence of practical multiparty protocols, which paves the way for future QDS networks.

Unlike existing identification protocols based on Quantum Read-out PUFs which rely on the security against a specific family of attacks, our protocols provide provable exponential security against any Quantum Polynomial-Time adversary with resource-efficient parties.
