任意消息长度下私有信息检索的最优下载代价

Optimal Download Cost of Private Information Retrieval for Arbitrary Message Length

Hua Sun, Syed A. Jafar

摘要:

专用信息检索方案是一种允许用户从$N$非通信复制数据库中检索$K$消息中的任何一个的机制,每个数据库存储所有$K$消息,而不向任何单独的数据库透露关于所需消息索引的身份的任何信息。如果每个消息的大小是$L$位,并且PIR方案所需的来自所有$N$数据库的总下载是$D$位,则$D$称为下载成本,并且比率$L/D$称为可实现速率。对于固定的$K,N\in\mathbb{N}$,由$C$表示的PIR的容量是在所有PIR方案上和在所有消息大小上可实现的速率的上确界,并且最近被示出为$C=(1+1/N+1/N^2+\cdots+1/N^{K-1})^{-1}$。在这项工作中,对于任意的$K, N$,我们探索的最小下载成本$D_L$在所有PIR计划(不限于线性计划)的任意消息长度$L$下的任意选择的字母表(不限于有限字段)的消息和下载符号。如果消息和下载符号使用相同的$M$ -ary字母表,则我们证明了$M$ -ary符号的最优下载成本是$D_L=\lceil\frac{L}{C}\rceil$。如果消息符号为$M$进制,下载符号为$M'$进制,则我们证明了最优下载代价为$M'$进制符号$D_L\in\left\{\left\lceil \frac{L'}{C}\right\rceil,\left\lceil \frac{L'}{C}\right\rceil-1,\left\lceil \frac{L'}{C}\right\rceil-2\right\}$,其中$L'= \lceil L \log_{M'} M\rceil$ .

英文摘要:

A private information retrieval scheme is a mechanism that allows a user to retrieve any one out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-communicating replicated databases, each of which stores all $K$ messages, without revealing anything about the identity of the desired message index to any individual database. If the size of each message is $L$ bits and the total download required by a PIR scheme from all $N$ databases is $D$ bits, then $D$ is called the download cost and the ratio $L/D$ is called an achievable rate. For fixed $K,N\in\mathbb{N}$, the capacity of PIR, denoted by $C$, is the supremum of achievable rates over all PIR schemes and over all message sizes, and was recently shown to be $C=(1+1/N+1/N^2+\cdots+1/N^{K-1})^{-1}$. In this work, for arbitrary $K, N$, we explore the minimum download cost $D_L$ across all PIR schemes (not restricted to linear schemes) for arbitrary message lengths $L$ under arbitrary choices of alphabet (not restricted to finite fields) for the message and download symbols. If the same $M$-ary alphabet is used for the message and download symbols, then we show that the optimal download cost in $M$-ary symbols is $D_L=\lceil\frac{L}{C}\rceil$. If the message symbols are in $M$-ary alphabet and the downloaded symbols are in $M'$-ary alphabet, then we show that the optimal download cost in $M'$-ary symbols, $D_L\in\left\{\left\lceil \frac{L'}{C}\right\rceil,\left\lceil \frac{L'}{C}\right\rceil-1,\left\lceil \frac{L'}{C}\right\rceil-2\right\}$, where $L'= \lceil L \log_{M'} M\rceil$.
