Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable medium facilitating encrypted information retrieval. Methods can include receiving a batch of queries that includes queries to special buckets in each database shard. Query results responsive to the batch of queries are transmitted to the client device. The query results includes server-encrypted secret shares obtained from the special buckets. Client-encrypted versions of the secret shares are received. A full set of server-encrypted secret shares is transmitted to the client device, which is encrypted by the client device to create a full set of client-server-encrypted secret shares. The client device is classified based on how many of the secret shares are included in both of the client-encrypted secret shares received from the client device and the full set of client-server-encrypted secret shares received from the client device.
