Abstract:
Traditionally, there have been two cryptographic techniques for hiding a client’s access pattern from an untrusted server: Private Information Retrieval, which involves expensive computation, and Oblivious RAM, which requires significant communication overhead. We present a hybrid system, using ideas from both, which overcomes the individual weaknesses of each to obtain significantly increased efficiency.
