What is a practical PIR protocol ? Stony Brook Network Security and Applied Cryptography Lab Baseline: a cheaper PIR protocol than trivial database transfer (for now !). What is cheaper ? Often, ”not slower”. Faster. Not always ! Practicality of Private Information Retrieval (NDSS, February 2006) 4
Time to “illustrate” … Stony Brook Network Security and Applied Cryptography Lab … we choose: E. Kushilevitz and R. Ostrovsky, “Replication is not needed: single database, computationally-private information retrieval”, FOCS 1997. Why ? It is the least computationally expensive and arguably the fastest of the bunch. The results can be applied to all 7+ single-server computational protocols we looked at (based on wellestablished intractability assumptions) They also apply to any protocol with a per-bit cost > fraction (e.g., 1/10) of the cost of a modular multiplication.
