New proofs of retrievability using locally decodable codes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Proofs of retrievability (PoR) are probabilistic protocols which ensure that a client can recover a file he previously stored on a server. Good PoRs aim at reaching an efficient tradeoff between communication complexity and storage overhead, and should be usable an unlimited number of times. We present a new unbounded-use PoR construction based on a class of locally decodable codes, namely the lifted codes of Guo et. al. Our protocols feature sublinear communication complexity and very low storage overhead. Moreover, the various parameters can be tuned so as to minimize the communication complexity (resp. the storage overhead) according to the setting of concern.
