I am trying to understand the protocol in the following picture for shuffled differential privacy from this paper: Distributed Differential Privacy via Shuffling.
Here, the authors use an abbreviation Ber(…) that I did not came accross yet. From my knowledge it does not mean the bit error rate. I come from a computer science background and did not yet get into too much statistics, so the abbreviation might be clear in general. Does anybody know, what they mean ?

In the context of probability and statistics, Ber could be short for Bernoulli.
