Abstract: Private information retrieval (PIR) allows a client to obtain records from a database without revealing the retrieved index to the server. In the single-server model, it has been known that (plain) PIR is vulnerable to selective failure attacks, where a (malicious) server intends to learn information of an index by getting a client's decoded result. Recently, as one solution for this problem, Ben-David et al. (TCC 2022) proposed verifiable PIR (vPIR) that allows a client to verify that the queried database satisfies certain properties. However, the existing vPIR scheme is not practically efficient, especially when we consider the multi-query setting, where a client makes multiple queries for a server to retrieve some records either in parallel or in sequence.
