Of particular interest in practice is the group-discovering variant, which handles multiple group memberships per user. Corresponding solutions were only recently introduced, and have two major drawbacks: high bandwidth consumption (typically several kilobits per user and affiliation), and only moderate performance in scenarios of practical application.While prior protocols have O(n2) time complexity, where n denotes the number of affiliations per user, we introduce a new AHA protocol running in O(nlogn) time. In addition, the bandwidth consumed is considerably reduced. We consider these advances a major step towards deployment of privacy-preserving methods in constraint devices, like mobile phones, to which the economization of these resources is priceless. %G English %Z TC 11 %Z WG 11.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01573294/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01573294/file/978-3-642-21040-2_6_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01573294 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01573294 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC11 %~ IFIP-WISTP %~ IFIP-WG11-2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-6633
