Abstract
Private information retrieval (PIR) enables a user to retrieve a specific data item from a database, replicated among one or more servers, while hiding from each server the identity of the retrieved item. This problem was suggested by Chor et al. [11], and since then efficient protocols with sub-linear communication were suggested. However, in all these protocols the servers’ computation for each retrieval is at least linear in the size of entire database, even if the user requires just one bit.
