A demo of this work that enables access to Wikipedia over PIR is available at https://spiralwiki.com. This is an implementation of our paper "Spiral: Fast, High-Rate Single-Server PIR via FHE Composition", available here.

WARNING: This is research-quality code; it has not been checked for side-channel leakage or basic logical or memory safety issues. Do not use this in production.

• In spiral-rs/spiral-rs:
  • To run an end-to-end test for a database with 2^20 elements of size 256 bytes, run cargo run --release --bin e2e 20 256.
  • To build the library spiral-rs, run cargo build --release.
  • To run the library tests, run cargo test.
  • To build the server, run cargo build --release --bin server --features server.
  • To preprocess a database, run cargo run --release --bin preprocess_db dbfile.db dbfile.dbp.
  • To run the server, run target/release/server dbfile.dbp with the preprocessed database file dbfile.dbp
• In spiral-rs/client:
  • To build the client for our Wikipedia demo, run wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir static/pkg
