A new k-out-of-n oblivious transfer protocol is presented in this paper. The communication cost of our scheme are n+1 messages of sender to receiver and k messages from the receiver to sender. To the best knowledge of the authors, the com-munication complexity of our scheme is the least. Also, our scheme has a lower computation cost with (k+1)n modular ex-ponentiations for sender and 3k modular exponentiations for the receiver. The security of our scheme is only based on the Decision Diffie-Hellman assumption. Further, we proved the sender\'s computational security and the receiver\'s uncondition-al security under standard model.
