Improved Lower Bounds for Locally Decodable Codes and Private Information Retrieval
We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding nbit strings over an ℓ-bit alphabet, where the decode...

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...

Private Locally Decodable Codes
We consider the problem of constructing efficient locally decodable codes in the presence of a computationally bounded adversary. Assuming the existence of one-way functions, we c...

Nearly Private Information Retrieval
A private information retrieval scheme is a protocol whereby a client obtains a record from a database without the database operators learning anything about which record the clien...

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...
