We show how to apply the BZ methodology (Blind signatures from Zero knowledge) to obtain blind signatures in the Kummer varieties defined by Montgomery curves. We also describe specially-tailored arithmetic algorithms to facilitate their efficient implementation. The result can be proved secure under appropriate assumptions, appears to resist even the ROS attack (to which most elliptic-curve blind signature schemes succumb), and is arguably one of the most efficient among those proposals that offer similar security guarantees.
