Verifiable Shuffle

Definition

A verifiable shuffle is a cryptographic protocol that permits a party to reorder a list of items while simultaneously proving that the reordering was performed correctly and without introducing new items or duplicating existing ones. This process ensures the integrity of the shuffle operation without revealing the specific permutation. It is essential for privacy-preserving applications like secure voting systems or mixing services. Verifiable shuffles maintain data confidentiality while assuring correctness.
