Abstract

We present a near-optimal asynchronous verifiable information dispersal (AVID) protocol. The total dispersal cost of our AVID protocol is O(|M| + κ n^2), and the retrieval cost per client is O(|M| + κ n). Unlike prior works, our AVID protocol only assumes the existence of collision-resistant hash functions. Also, in our AVID protocol, the dispersing client incurs a communication cost of O(|M|+κ n) in comparison to O(|M|+κ n łog n) of prior best. Moreover, each node in our AVID protocol incurs a storage cost of O(|M|/n + κ) bits, in comparison to O(|M|/n + κ łog n) bits of prior best. Finally, we present lower bound results on communication cost and show that our AVID protocol has near-optimal communication costs - only a factor of O(κ) gap from the lower bounds.
