We establish the following, quite unexpected, result: replication of data for the computational private information retrieval problem is not necessary. More specifically, based on the quadratic residuosity assumption, we present a single database, computationally private information retrieval scheme with O(n/sup /spl epsiv//) communication complexity for any /spl epsiv/>0.
Index Terms:
