    Everyone generates a one-use key pair to for encryption. Starting with plaintext values, each player in turn encrypts the values they are given, sorts them randomly, and passes those to the next player. At the end, we have randomly sorted numbers encrypted by everyone. The first value is selected as the result. Everyone publishes their one-use private keys so that selection can be decrypted. The other selection is also decrypted to confirm it is the opposite value, otherwise the result is discarded.
