Abstract(in English) A data retrieval protocol between a database server, who has a database, and a user, who has an index, allows the user to obtain an item in the database. Security requirements for data retrieval are the privacy of a user, the privacy of the database server, and the consistency of an answer. We have proposed a data retrieval protocol which satisfies the three security requirements. The server uses Merkle tree to generate a commitment and a proof which enable the user to verify the consistency of an answer, and publishes the commitment. The user executes Oblivious transfer (OT) with the server to obtain not only the item but also the proof. To make the protocol efficient, the server transforms a query for the item into a query for the proof and uses it. However, the size of an answer for a query obtained by the transformation is linear in the size of the database. That is, the previous protocol is inefficient. In this paper, we propose an efficient OT such that the size of an answer for the query obtained by the transformation is not linear in the size of the database, and realize an efficient data retrieval protocol by using the proposed OT.
