Title:
More Efficient (Reusable) Private Set Union

Authors: Dov Gordon, Carmit Hazay, Phi Hung Le, and Mingyu Liang

Abstract:

We study the problem of private set union in the two-party setting, providing several new constructions. We consider the case where one party is designated to receive output. In the semi-honest setting, we provide two protocols. Our four-round protocol out-performs the state-ofthe-art in both communication and computation, and has a runtime that is 1.3X-2X faster than existing protocols. Our two-round protocol is only slightly more expensive, but it is still faster than existing protocols and has the property that the receiver message can be re-used across multiple executions. All our semi-honest protocols are post-quantum secure. In the setting where the sender is malicious, we provide the first protocols that avoid the use of expensive zero-knowledge proofs. We estimate (conservatively) that our constructions are less than 2X more expensive than the best known semi-honest constructions. As in the semi-honest setting, we describe two protocols: a faster one that requires four rounds of communication, and a slightly more expensive protocol that allows the receiver message to be re-used. Our work draws on several techniques from the literature on private set intersection, and helps clarify how these techniques generalize (and don’t generalize) to the problem of PSU.
