**NewtonPIR**

[Private Information Retrieval (PIR)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.14397) is a protocol that lets a user get information from a database without revealing to the owner what data they retrieved. PIR has many potential uses in privacy-preserving applications, but it requires complex communication and computation which can be prohibitively expensive with large databases. There are many PIR implementations taking different approaches cryptographic techniques. [NewtonPIR](https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/1909.pdf) is a proposed scheme for highly efficient PIR using [Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)](https://mirror.xyz/privacy-scaling-explorations.eth/D8UHFW1t48x2liWb5wuP6LDdCRbgUH_8vOFvA0tNDJA).
