SPEAKER: David Cash IBM Research TITLE: A Survey of Oblivious RAMs ABSTRACT: In this talk I will give an overview of the literature on "Oblivious RAMs" (none of it my own), starting from definitions, efficiency measurements and basic schemes up to more recent schemes. Time permitting, this will include the original Goldreich and Ostrovsky schemes and their variants using cuckoo hashing, deamortization, and trusted hardware assistance. I will also touch on recent practical versions of ORAM.
