Private Set Intersection Cardinality(PSI-CA) is a type of secure two-party computation. It enables two parties, each holding a private set, to jointly compute the cardinality of their intersection without revealing any other private information about their respective sets.

In this paper, we manage to break two PSI-CA protocols by recovering the specific intersection items in polynomial time. Among them, the PSI-CA protocol proposed by De Cristofaro et al. in 2012 is the most popular PSI-CA protocol based on the Google Scholar search results and it is still deemed one of the most efficient PSI-CA protocols.

In this paper, we also propose several solutions to these protocols' security problems.
