[CFRG] Call for Adoption of Blind BBS and BBS Pseudonyms

[Greg Bernstein <[e-mail]>]

Hello CFRGers it was good to present Blind BBS and BBS pseudonyms at the 
CFRG meeting. We would like call for adoption of Blind BBS 
<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-kalos-bbs-blind-signatures-03.html> 
and BBS Pseudonyms 
<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-kalos-bbs-per-verifier-linkability-00.html> 
as CFRG WG documents to round out the “BBS Suite” of privacy preserving 
cryptography for signatures, credentials and more.

Best Regards

Greg and Vasilis

PS although not present in the proposed drafts we can add some history 
on blind signatures and pseudonyms if desired. For example Chaum’s 1985 
paper Security without identification: transaction systems to make big 
brother obsolete <https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/4372.4373> and 
Lysyanskaya’s 1999 paper Pseudonym Systems 
<https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/pubs/LRSW99.pdf>.
