Anonymous credential systems [8, 9, 12, 24] allow anonymous yet authenticated and accountable transactions between users and service providers.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of an anonymous credential system based on the protocols developed by [6] . The system is based on new high-level primitives and interfaces allowing for easy integration into access
