In the classical model for (information theoretically secure) Private Information Retrieval (PIR), a user wishes to retrieve one bit of a database that is stored on a set of $n$ servers, in such a way that no individual server gains…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) from $N$ non-colluding and replicated databases when the user is equipped with a cache that holds an uncoded fraction $r$ from each of the $K$ stored messages in the databases.…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) from MDS coded databases with colluding servers, i.e., MDS-TPIR. In the MDS-TPIR setting, $M$ files are stored across $N$ servers, where each file is stored independently using…
A private information retrieval scheme is a mechanism that allows a user to retrieve any one out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-communicating replicated databases, each of which stores all $K$ messages, without revealing anything about the…
In Private Information Retrieval (PIR), one wants to download a file from a database without revealing to the database which file is being downloaded. Much attention has been paid to the case of the database being encoded across several…
Multi-message private information retrieval (MPIR) is an interesting variation of PIR which allows a user to download multiple messages from the database without revealing the identity of the desired messages. Obviously, the user can…
In a distributed storage system, private information retrieval (PIR) guarantees that a user retrieves one file from the system without revealing any information about the identity of its interested file to any individual server. In this…
We consider the problem of designing a Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme on $m$ files replicated on $k$ servers that can collude or, even worse, can return incorrect answers. Our goal is to correctly retrieve a specific message…
The problem of providing privacy, in the private information retrieval (PIR) sense, to users requesting data from a distributed storage system (DSS), is considered. The DSS is coded by an $(n,k,d)$ Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) code to…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is the problem of privately retrieving one out of $M$ original files from $N$ severs, i.e., each individual server learns nothing about the file that the user is requesting. Usually, the $M$ files are…
A user wants to retrieve a file from a database without revealing the identity of the file retrieved at the database, which is known as the problem of private information retrieval (PIR). If it is further required that the user obtains no…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) of a single message out of $K$ messages from $N$ replicated and non-colluding databases where a cache-enabled user (retriever) of cache-size $M$ possesses side information in…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) from multiple storage nodes when the underlying database is encoded using regenerating codes, i.e., the database has the ability to recover from individual node failures. We…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) is a fundamental problem in the broader fields of security and privacy. In recent years, the problem has garnered significant attention from the research community, leading to achievability schemes and…
The problem of private information retrieval (PIR) is to retrieve one message out of $K$ messages replicated at $N$ databases, without revealing the identity of the desired message to the databases. We consider the problem of PIR with…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is a mechanism for efficiently downloading messages while keeping the index of the desired message secret from the servers. PIR schemes have been extended to various scenarios with adversarial servers:…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes allow a user to retrieve a record from the server without revealing any information on which record is being downloaded. In this paper, we consider PIR schemes where the database is stored using…
We investigate the problem of semantic private information retrieval (semantic PIR). In semantic PIR, a user retrieves a message out of $K$ independent messages stored in $N$ replicated and non-colluding databases without revealing the…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is a privacy setting that allows a user to download a required message from a set of messages stored in a system of databases without revealing the index of the required message to the databases. PIR was…
This paper revisits the problem of multi-server Private Information Retrieval with Private Side Information (PIR-PSI). In this problem, $N$ non-colluding servers store identical copies of $K$ messages, each comprising $L$ symbols from…
