摘要: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 equal to the known n − 1 upper bound. This improves upon the approximately 0 25 n lower bound of Kerenidis and de Wolf while avoiding their use of quantum techniques.
