BMRaccoon: Blind Multi-Signatures from Lattices
Abstract
Blind multi-signatures (BMS) allow a user to obtain a compact signature on a hidden message through the joint participation of multiple signers, providing a basis for decentralized issuance of anonymous tokens.We present BMRaccoon, the first lattice-based post-quantum BMS construction, with a two-round signing protocol secure under concurrent sessions and signatures syntactically compatible with Raccoon under the sum of the signers' verification keys. As a building block, we introduce MRaccoon, the first Raccoon-based multi-signature and prove its strong unforgeability under the Algebraic One-More MISIS (AOM-MISIS) and MSIS assumptions in the random oracle and and knowledge-of-secret-key (KOSK) model. Our modular security analysis establishes one-more unforgeability of BMRaccoon via a straight-line reduction to the strong unforgeability of MRaccoon, modelling the user's blinding contribution as an auxiliary signer with a zero verification key. We additionally prove blindness against malicious, colluding signers. For up to $q_s = 2^{32}$ signing sessions and $n = 32$ signers, our concrete instantiation yields signatures of approximately $67$ KB and verification keys of approximately $15$ KB.
