This paper presents the first Distributed Oblivious RAM (DORAM) protocol that achieves sub-logarithmic communication overhead without computational assumptions.
That is, given $n$ $d$-bit memory locations, we present an information-theoretically secure protocol which requires $o(d \cdot \log(n))$ bits of communication per access (when $d = \Omega(\log^2(n)$).

This comes as a surprise, ... more >>>
