3.4.2 Masking and Re-masking of a Card

Now the previously created card c will be masked to hide its type. Then cc is sent to P_1. 

VTMF_Card cc;
VTMF_CardSecret cs;
tmcg->TMCG_CreateCardSecret(cs, vtmf);
tmcg->TMCG_MaskCard(c, cc, cs, vtmf);
out_stream[1] << cc << std::endl;

P_1 receives the card cc, re-masks them, and sends the result ccc back to the player P_0. Further he proves that the masking operation was performed correctly. 

VTMF_Card cc, ccc;
VTMF_CardSecret ccs;
in_stream[0] >> cc;
if (!in_stream[0].good())
  std::cerr << "Read or parse error!" << std::endl;
tmcg->TMCG_CreateCardSecret(ccs, vtmf);
tmcg->TMCG_MaskCard(cc, ccc, ccs, vtmf);
out_stream[0] << ccc << std::endl;
tmcg->TMCG_ProveMaskCard(cc, ccc, ccs, vtmf, in_stream[0], out_stream[0]);

P_0 receives the card, verifies the proof, and sends the card to all other players. 

VTMF_Card ccc;
in_stream[1] >> ccc;
if (!tmcg->TMCG_VerifyMaskCard(cc, ccc, vtmf, in_stream[1], out_stream[1]))
  std::cerr << "Verification failed!" << std::endl;
for (size_t i = 1; i < 5; i++)
  out_stream[i] << ccc << std::endl;

Finally, all other players receive and store the masked card ccc.
