Abstract

Cryptographic techniques have been used intensively in the past to show how to play multiparty games in an adversarial scenario. We now investigate the cryptographic power of a deck of cards in a solitary scenario. In particular, we show how a person can select a random permutation satisfying a certain criterion discreetly (without knowing which one was picked) using a simple deck of cards. We also show how it is possible using cards to play games of partial information such as POKER, BRIDGE and other cards games in solitary.
