New research explores Private Information Retrieval for DNA data storage

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have explored the application of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) protocols to large-scale DNA-based data storage systems. The study proposes two methods for adapting existing two-server PIR protocols to the unique biochemical query mechanisms and complexities inherent in DNA storage. These adaptations aim to balance privacy, efficiency, and practical feasibility, highlighting the information-theoretic privacy trade-offs specific to this emerging storage technology. AI

    Private Information Retrieval for Large-Scale DNA-Based Data Storage

    We investigate Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in the context of synthetic DNA-based data storage. While PIR is a well-studied primitive for digital databases, extending it to DNA-based databases presents unique challenges arising from biochemical query mechanisms and their c…
