Abstract
Suppose that there exist a user and servers . Each server holds a copy of a database , and the user holds a secret index . A b error correcting server PIR (Private Information Retrieval) scheme allows a user to retrieve correctly even if and b or less servers return false answers while each server learns no information on in the information theoretic sense. Although there exists such a scheme with the total communication cost where , the decoding algorithm is very inefficient.
In this paper, we show an efficient decoding algorithm for this b error correcting server PIR scheme. It runs in time .
