A Shannon-Theoretic Approach to the Storage-Retrieval Tradeoff in PIR Systems

Abstract

We consider the storage-retrieval rate tradeoff in private information retrieval systems using a Shannon-theoretic approach. Our focus is on the canonical two-message two-database case, for which a coding scheme based on random codebook generation, joint typicality encoding, and the binning technique is proposed. It is first shown that when the retrieval rate is kept optimal, the proposed non-linear scheme uses less storage than the optimal …
