Towards Making Doubly-Efficient PIR Practical

본문 미리보기

Doubly-efficient private information retrieval (DEPIR) enables sublinear per-query work (in the database size $N$) for both client and server, while requiring no client state. Despite its theoretical promise, single-server DEPIR exhibits a prohibitive concrete efficiency gap: for $N=2^{23}$, the state-of-the-art construction (Eurocrypt '25) requires a 733TB server state and over $2^{37}$ online RAM/Disk reads, rending it infeasible to execute. This paper advances single-server DEPIR toward
