ePrint Report: Optimal Statistical Oblivious RAM and Search Tree in the External-Memory Model Andrew Krapivin, Elaine Shi Oblivious RAM (ORAM) allows a trusted client to access (encrypted) data stored in untrusted memory, such that the access patterns reveal nothing about the data or the queries. It is well-known that any ORAM scheme must suffer from a logarithmic overhead. More precisely stated, each request must incur $\Omega(\log_B N)$ block transfers on average, where $N$ is the size of the logical memory and $B$ is the block size of the oblivious implementation. Moreover, the same lower bound extends to oblivious Search Trees (ST). For upper bounds, however, we have been long stuck with a $(\log_B N)^2$ curse on two fronts: (1) Log-squared curse for statistically secure ORAMs: although optimality is known for computationally secure ORAMs for $B = \Theta(1)$ or $B \geq \log^{1+\epsilon} N$ (where $\epsilon > 0$ is an arbitrarily small constant), progress has been stagnant when it comes to statistical security. (2) Log-squared curse for oblivious search trees: for search trees, we do not know how to
