Summary: A simple and efficient shuffling scheme containing two protocols is proposed. Firstly, a prototype, Protocol-1 is designed, which is based on the assumption that the shuffling party cannot find a linear relation of the shuffled messages in polynomial time. As application of Protocol-1 is limited, it is then optimised to Protocol-2, which does not need the assumption. Both protocols are simpler and more efficient than any other shuffling scheme with unlimited permutation. Moreover, they achieve provable correctness and ZK privacy.
