An hwPIR (hardware-based Private Information Retrieval) protocol allows a user to retrieve one of N records from a database without revealing the identity of the record to the database server using a server-side trusted hardware. In this paper, we present a new hwPIR protocol which achieves computation complexity while keeping the same communication overhead. Two N-length memory buffers are used to avoid the most time-consuming process, periodic reshuffle. Although this scheme is not fully secured, we believe it’s secure enough in practice and easy to implement.
