{"product_id":"9781627051538","title":"Private Information Retrieval","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book deals with Private Information Retrieval (PIR), a technique allowing a user to retrieve an element from a server in possession of a database without revealing to the server which element is retrieved. PIR has been widely applied to protect the privacy of the user in querying a service provider on the Internet. For example, by PIR, one can query a location-based service provider about the nearest car park without revealing his location to the server. The first PIR approach was introduced by Chor, Goldreich, Kushilevitz and Sudan in 1995 in a multi-server setting, where the user retrieves information from multiple database servers, each of which has a copy of the same database. To ensure user privacy in the multiserver setting, the servers must be trusted not to collude. In 1997, Kushilevitz and Ostrovsky constructed the first single-database PIR. Since then, many efficient PIR solutions have been discovered. Beginning with a thorough survey of single-database PIR techniques, this text focuses on the latest technologies and applications in the field of PIR. The main categories are illustrated with recently proposed PIR-based solutions by the authors. Because of the latest treatment of the topic, this text will be highly beneficial to researchers and industry professionals in information security and privacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan \u0026 Claypool Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057881104624,"sku":"9781627051538","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781627051538_p0.jpg?v=1763867859","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781627051538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
