SPIR ⇒ IT-PIR

SPIR implies IT-PIR.

Statement

Migrated verbatim from symmetric-private-information-retrieval-multi-server:

Symmetric private information retrieval is a stronger version of Multi-server PIR that in addition to protecting the querier’s privacy, also protects the data privacy. It was first introduced by GIKM00, which showed how to construct it in the multi-server setting with information-theoretic security.

Notes

source: folklore: the claim carried no citation on the page it was migrated from, and none was invented.

class: unstated: no citing page says which notion of reduction is meant. Recording a class the wiki does not state would add a claim.

Recorded during migration and not fixed — these are claims about the source text, not changes to it:

  • The implication is implicit in ‘stronger version of’ — the page never states SPIR PIR as a result, and gives no citation for it.
  • Duplicates the same sentence on content/Primitives/single-server-private-information-retrieval.md line 87 (near-verbatim copy across two pages).
