If they are, search engines will very likely have indexed them.
I would do the search for you, but your retainer has expired.
Some of the primary papers are:
David Chaum. Showing credentials without identification: Signatures
transferred between unconditionally unlinkable pseudonyms. In Advances
in Cryptology --- Eurocrypt '85, pages 241--244, New York, 1985.
Springer-Verlag.
Chaum, D. and J.H. Evertse, Showing credentials without identification:
signatures transferred between unconditionally unlinkable pseudonyms,
Proceedings of Crypto '86, Springer-Verlag, 1987.
There is much discussion on the Cypherpunks list, and even reference in
the Cyphernomicon.
