The research area of card-based cryptography, which relies on a deck of physical cards to perform cryptographic functionalities, has been growing in recent years, ranging from basic secure computations, such as secure AND and XOR evaluations, to more complex tasks, such as Yao’s Millionaires’ problem and zero-knowledge proof. In this paper, we propose a card-based “secure sorting” protocol; although sorting is probably the most fundamental problem in computer science, secure sorting has not been addressed in the field of card-based cryptography yet. Given a sequence of face-down cards representing a collection of keys with values (to be sorted), our proposed protocol sorts them without leaking any information. As imagined, secure sorting provides many applications; for instance, we show how to apply our protocol to implementing an auction. Since many algorithms for computational problems (say, graph algorithms) use sorting as subroutines, we expect that our secure sorting protocol will be useful when constructing card-based secure computations regarding computational problems.
