Design of Threshold Blind Signature Scheme

Threshold signature and blind signature are playing important roles in cryptography as well as practical applications such as e-cash and e-voting systems. In this paper, we present a new threshold blind digital signature based on pairings without a trusted third party. Our scheme operates on Gap Diffie-Hellman group, where Computational Diffie-Hellman problems are hard but Decision Diffie-Hellman problems are easy. For example, we use pairings that could be built from Weil pairing or Tate pairing. To the best of our knowledge, we claim that our scheme is the first threshold blind signature using pairings with provable security in the random oracle model.
