Single-Database Private Information Retrieval with Constant Communication Rate
We present a single-database private information retrieval (PIR) scheme with communication complexity O(k+d), where k ≥ log n is a security parameter that depends on the database...

New Locally Decodable Codes and Private Information Retrieval Schemes
A q query Locally Decodable Code (LDC) encodes an n-bit message x as an N-bit codeword C(x), such that one can probabilistically recover any bit xi of the message by querying only...

A tight lower bound for restricted pir protocols
We show that any 1-round 2-server Private Information Retrieval Protocol where the answers are 1-bit long must ask questions that are at least n - 2 bits long, which is nearly equa...
