Symmetric Private Information Retrieval Via Additive Homomorphic Probabilistic Encryption

Symmetric Private Information Retrieval Via Additive Homomorphic Probabilistic Encryption
"Suppose there is a movie you would be interested in watching via pay-per-view, but you refuse to purchase the feed because you believe that the supplier will sell your information to groups paying for the contact information of all the people who purchased that movie, and the association of your name to that purchase could hinder career, relationships, or increase the amount of time you spend cleaning SPAM out of your mailbox. Private Information Retrieval (PIR) will allow you to retrieve a particular feed without the supplier knowing which feed you actually got, and Symmetric Private Information Retrieval (SPIR) will assure the supplier, if the feeds are equally priced, that you received only the number of feeds you purchased. Now you can purchase without risking your name being associated with a particular feed and the supplier has gained the business of a once paranoid client. The problem of SPIR can be achieved with the cryptographic primitive Oblivious Transfer (OT). Several approaches to constructing such protocols have been posed and proven to be secure. Most attempts have aimed at reducing the amount of communication, theoretically, but this thesis compares the computational expense of the algorithms through experimentation to show that reduction of communication is less valuable in the effort of achieving a practical protocol than reducing the among of computation. Further, this thesis introduces new protocols to compete with previous published protocols that derive security from additive homomorphic probabilistic encryption schemes, and explores means to increase the length of data handled by these protocols so that the media is more useful and the time to complete the protocol is reasonable"--Abstract.
