We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding nbit strings over an ℓ-bit alphabet, where the decode...
A Private Information Retrieval (PIR) protocol allows a database user, or client, to obtain information from a data- base in a manner that prevents the database from knowing which...
Since 1995, much work has been done creating protocols for private information retrieval (PIR). Many variants of the basic PIR model have been proposed, including such modificati...
A q query Locally Decodable Code (LDC) encodes an n-bit message x as an N-bit codeword C(x), such that one can probabilistically recover any bit xi of the message by querying only...
In this paper, we study the problem of single database private information retrieval, and present schemes with only logarithmic server-side communication complexity. Previously th...
