Abstract: We show the first threshold blind signature scheme and threshold Oblivious PRF (OPRF) scheme which remain secure in the presence of an adaptive adversary, who can adaptively decide which parties to corrupt throughout the lifetime of the scheme. Moreover, our adaptively secure schemes preserve the minimal round complexity and add only a small computational overhead over prior solutions that offered security only for a much less realistic static adversary, who must choose the subset of corrupted parties before initializing the protocol. Our threshold blind signature scheme computes standard BLS signatures while our threshold OPRF computes the 2HashDH OPRF [52], and we prove adaptive security of both schemes in the Algebraic Group Model (AGM). Our adaptively secure threshold schemes are as practical as the underlying standard (i.e. single-server) BLS blind signature [15] and 2HashDH OPRF, and they can be used to add cryptographic fault-tolerance and decentralize trust in any system that relies on blind signatures, like anonymous credentials and e-cash, or on OPRF, like the OPAQUE password authentication and the Privacy Pass anonymous authentication scheme, among many others.
