Title:
Optimal Single-Server Private Information Retrieval

Authors: Mingxun Zhou, Wei-Kai Lin, Yiannis Tselekounis, Elaine Shi (random author ordering)

Abstract:

We construct a single-server pre-processing Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme with optimal bandwidth and server computation (up to poly-logarithmic factors), assuming hardness of the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem. Our scheme achieves amortized \widetilde{O}_{\lambda}(\sqrt{n}) server and client computation and \widetilde{O}_\lambda(1) bandwidth per query, completes in a single roundtrip, and requires \widetilde{O}_\lambda(\sqrt{n}) client storage. In particular, we achieve a significant reduction in bandwidth over the state-of-the-art scheme by Corrigan-Gibbs, Henzinger, and Kogan (Eurocrypt’22): their scheme requires as much as \widetilde{O}_{\lambda}(\sqrt{n}) bandwidth per query, with comparable computational and storage overhead as ours.
