In the last few days, a Denial of Service attack was launched on universities in Israel, leading the administrators of the Israel Academic network to block access to it from the global internet. Consequently, websites such as ECCC have been accessible only from within the Israeli and European academic networks.
It seems that this blocking was just removed, and we hope it will not be put back in the future.
Needless to say, deciding on such blocking is not in our control, but we do apologize for this disruption of service.
Two-server Private Information Retrieval achieves arbitrarily small polynomial communication, but relies on a strong non-collusion assumption that
is difficult to justify in practice.
We introduce a new variant of two-server PIR in which one server acts as a standard *compute* server, while the other is a restricted *retrieval-only* server. The ... more >>>
We continue the study of half-duplex communication complexity, a model introduced in [HIMS18] and further studied in [DISSU21], in which each player can either send a bit or listen in each round, similarly to communication over a walkie-talkie.
We prove improved upper bounds for the Inner Product function in the ...

We show that one-way functions suffice for constructing very efficient argument systems for proving the correctness of bounded-space computations. Taking $\kappa$ to be a cryptographic security parameter and $n$ to be the input length, our argument system applies to general computations running in time $T$ and space $S$. The protocol ... more >>>
