Round-Optimal Threshold Blind Signatures Without Random Oracles

This paper presents the first round-optimal threshold blind signature without random oracles. Our construction achieves security in the algebraic group model (AGM) for asymmetric pairing groups, and tolerates adaptive corruption of up to $t-1$ signers, where $t$ is the threshold. We improve upon the recent threshold blind signatures of Lehmann, Nazarian and Özbay (EUROCRYPT 2025) and Jarecki and Nazarian (ASIACRYPT 2025) in two ways: we eliminate both the reliance on random oracles and the need for $q$-type assumptions in the AGM. As a core building block, we introduce a new pairing-based round-optimal blind signature without random oracles, based on the $2$-DL assumption in the AGM. Both blind signature schemes achieve communication and computation costs only twice that of the celebrated blind BLS signature.
