Abstract

We address the problem of replicating a Voronoi diagram V(S) of a planar point set S by making proximity queries: 1. the exact location of the nearest site(s) in S 2. the distance to and label(s) of the nearest site(s) in S 3. a unique label for every nearest site in S. In addition to showing the limits of nearest-neighbor database security, our methods also provide one of the first natural algorithmic applications of retroactive data structures.
