Abstract

We propose a protocol for oblivious transfer that is unconditionally secure under the sole assumption that the memory size of the receiver is bounded. The model assumes that a random bit string slightly larger than the receiver's memory is broadcast (either by the sender or by a third party). In our construction, both parties need memory of size in $\theta(n^{2-2\alpha})$ for some $\alpha\beta0$, whereas a malicious receiver can have up to $\gamma N$ bits of memory for any $\gamma
