A Note on Single-Cut Full-Open Protocols

Abstract: Card-based cryptography is a research area that realizes cryptographic protocols such as secure computation by applying shuffles to sequences of cards that encode input values. A single-cut full-open protocol is one that obtains an output value by applying a random cut to an input sequence of cards, after which all cards are opened. In this paper, we propose three single-cut full-open protocols: two protocols for three-variable functions and one protocol for a four-variable function.
