Abstract

It is known that secure multi-party computations can be achieved using a number of black and red physical cards (with identical backs). In previous studies on such card-based cryptographic protocols, typically an ideal situation where all players are semi-honest and all cards of the same suit are indistinguishable from one another was assumed. In this paper, we consider more realistic situations where, for example, some players possibly act maliciously, or some cards possibly have scuff marks, so that they are distinguishable, and propose methods to maintain the secrecy of players’ private inputs even under such severe conditions.
