One Server for the Price of Two: Simple and Fast {Single-Server} Private Information Retrieval

A Henzinger, MM Hong, H Corrigan-Gibbs… - 32nd USENIX Security …, 2023 - usenix.org
We present SimplePIR, the fastest single-server private information retrieval scheme known
to date. SimplePIR's security holds under the learning-with-errors assumption. To answer a …

Spiral: Fast, high-rate single-server PIR via FHE composition

SJ Menon, DJ Wu - 2022 IEEE Symposium on Security and …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We introduce the SPIRAL family of single-server private information retrieval (PIR) protocols.
SPIRAL relies on a composition of two lattice-based homomorphic encryption schemes: the …

Single-server private information retrieval with sublinear amortized time

H Corrigan-Gibbs, A Henzinger, D Kogan - … International Conference on …, 2022 - Springer
We construct new private-information-retrieval protocols in the single-server setting. Our
schemes allow a client to privately fetch a sequence of database records from a server …

Authenticated private information retrieval

S Colombo, K Nikitin, H Corrigan-Gibbs… - 32nd USENIX security …, 2023 - usenix.org
This paper introduces protocols for authenticated private information retrieval. These
schemes enable a client to fetch a record from a remote database server such that (a) the …

Boosting batch arguments and RAM delegation

Y Kalai, A Lombardi, V Vaikuntanathan… - Proceedings of the 55th …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We show how to generically improve the succinctness of non-interactive publicly verifiable
batch argument (BARG) systems. In particular, we show (under a mild additional …

Correlation intractability and SNARGs from sub-exponential DDH

AR Choudhuri, S Garg, A Jain, Z **… - Annual International …, 2023 - Springer
We provide the first constructions of SNARGs for Batch-NP and P based solely on the sub-
exponential Decisional Diffie Hellman (DDH) assumption. Our schemes achieve poly …

The rise of paillier: Homomorphic secret sharing and public-key silent OT

C Orlandi, P Scholl, S Yakoubov - … on the Theory and Applications of …, 2021 - Springer
We describe a simple method for solving the distributed discrete logarithm problem in
Paillier groups, allowing two parties to locally convert multiplicative shares of a secret (in the …

Private information retrieval with sublinear online time

H Corrigan-Gibbs, D Kogan - … 39th Annual International Conference on the …, 2020 - Springer
We present the first protocols for private information retrieval that allow fast (sublinear-time)
database lookups without increasing the server-side storage requirements. To achieve …

Rate-1 non-interactive arguments for batch-NP and applications

L Devadas, R Goyal, Y Kalai… - 2022 IEEE 63rd …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a rate-1 construction of a publicly verifiable non-interactive argument system for
batch-NP (also called a BARG), under the LWE assumption. Namely, a proof corresponding …

Compressible FHE with applications to PIR

C Gentry, S Halevi - Theory of Cryptography Conference, 2019 - Springer
Homomorphic encryption (HE) is often viewed as impractical, both in communication and
computation. Here we provide an additively homomorphic encryption scheme based on …
