Popis: In this paper, we describe an attack against one of the Oblivious-Transfer-based blind signatures scheme, proposed in [1]. An attacker with a primitive capability of producing specific-range random numbers, while exhibiting a partial MITM behavior, is able to corrupt the communication between the protocol participants. The attack is quite efficient as it leads to a protocol communication corruption and has a sound-minimal computational cost. We propose a solution to fix the security flaw.
