Abstract

We propose a conceptually simple oblivious sort and
oblivious random permutation algorithms called bucket
oblivious sort and bucket oblivious random permutation. Bucket oblivious sort uses 6n log n time (measured by the number of memory accesses) and 2Z client
storage with an error probability exponentially small in
Z. The above runtime is only 3× slower than a nonoblivious merge sort baseline; for 230 elements, it is 5×
faster than bitonic sort, the de facto oblivious sorting
algorithm in practical implementations
