Oblivious transfer (OT)

Oblivious transfer

Oblivious transfer is a type of cryptographic protocol in which a sender transfers one piece of information to a receiver without knowing what was transferred. It was first introduced by Michael O. Rabin and later strengthened to "1 out of n oblivious transfer". It is considered an important problem in cryptography as it can be used to securely evaluate any polynomial time computable function.
