BlindOR: An Efficient Lattice-Based Blind Signature Scheme from OR-Proofs
Abstract
An OR-proof is a protocol that enables a user to prove the possession of a witness for one of two (or more) statements, without revealing which one. Abe and Okamoto (CRYPTO 2000) used this technique to build a partially blind signature scheme whose security is based on the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem. Inspired by their approach, we present BlindOR, an efficient blind signature scheme from OR-proofs based on lattices over modules. Using OR-proofs allows us to reduce the security of our scheme from the MLWE and MSIS problems, yielding a much more efficient solution compared to previous works.
Note: We would like to note that a subsequent work by Kastner et al. (https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/1232) revisits the proof of the one-more unforgeability (OMUF) property by Abe and Okamoto (CRYPTO 2000). It provides a comprehensive analysis of the OMUF property, achieving similar bounds as in the original proof and showing that the reduction can extract the desired witness from two forking runs of the adversary with high probability. This turns out to be non-trivial to prove in the context of OR-proofs. Therefore, the success probability of our proof requires further analysis, as it uses a similar approach.
