Food For Thought Seminar

PIR: "Private Information Retrieval," or "Pretty Interesting 'Ryptography"?

Abstract:

\indent Have you ever wanted to access a database in such a way that even the database can't tell what you're looking for? Better yet, don't answer that. Regardless, we will investigate how an accommodating database can allow such a query. We'll also discuss possible connections to circumventing the PATRIOT Act (don't tell the FBI!) and furthering space research.
