    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a reliable quantum signature. The method using the apparatus for a reliable quantum signature includes preparing a quantum signature by sharing a first secret key and a first Bell state with a signer's terminal device and by sharing a second secret key and a second Bell state with a verifier's terminal device; signing, by the signer's terminal device, a message with the quantum signature using a first encoding value, the first secret key, and the first Bell state; verifying, by the apparatus, the quantum signature of the message using the first encoding value, the first secret key, and the first Bell state; and finally verifying, by the apparatus, the quantum signature of the message using the verifier's terminal device, a second encoding value, a third encoding value, the second secret key, and the second Bell state.
