In this paper, we study the multi-server setting of the \emph{Private Information Retrieval with Coded Side Information (PIR-CSI)} problem. In this problem, there are $K$ messages replicated across $N$ servers, and there is a user who…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) is a mechanism for efficiently downloading messages while keeping the index secret. Here, PIRs in which servers do not communicate with each other are called standard PIRs, and PIRs in which some servers…
A communication-efficient protocol is introduced over a many-to-one quantum network for Q-E-B-MDS-X-TPIR, i.e., quantum private information retrieval with MDS-$X$-secure storage and $T$-private queries. The protocol is resilient to any set…
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…
We consider the storage-retrieval rate tradeoff in private information retrieval (PIR) systems using a Shannon-theoretic approach. Our focus is mostly on the canonical two-message two-database case, for which a coding scheme based on random…
A private information retrieval (PIR) protocol guarantees that a user can privately retrieve files stored in a database without revealing any information about the identity of the requested file. Existing information-theoretic PIR protocols…
Retrieving up-to-date information from a publicly accessible database poses significant threats to the user's privacy. {\em Private information retrieval} (PIR) protocols allow a user to retrieve any entry from a database, without revealing…
In the conventional robust $T$-colluding private information retrieval (PIR) system, the user needs to retrieve one of the possible messages while keeping the identity of the requested message private from any $T$ colluding servers.…
Performing computations while maintaining privacy is an important problem in todays distributed machine learning solutions. Consider the following two set ups between a client and a server, where in setup i) the client has a public data…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) of a single message out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-colluding and non-replicated databases. Different from the majority of the existing literature, which considers the case of…
This paper considers the problem of single-server single-message private information retrieval with coded side information (PIR-CSI). In this problem, there is a server storing a database, and a user which knows a linear combination of a…
The notion of a Private Information Retrieval (PIR) code was recently introduced by Fazeli, Vardy and Yaakobi who showed that this class of codes permit PIR at reduced levels of storage overhead in comparison with replicated-server PIR. In…
Quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) for quantum messages is the protocol in which a user retrieves one of the multiple quantum states from one or multiple servers without revealing which state is retrieved. We consider QPIR in two…
We present a private information retrieval (PIR) scheme that allows a user to retrieve a single message from an arbitrary number of databases by colluding with other users while hiding the desired message index. This scheme is of particular…
In information-theoretic private information retrieval (PIR), a client wants to retrieve one desired file out of $M$ files, stored across $N$ servers, while keeping the index of the desired file private from each $T$-sized subset of…
We consider the problem of Private Information Retrieval with Private Side Information (PIR-PSI), wherein a user wants to retrieve a file from replication based non-colluding databases by using the prior knowledge of a subset of the files…
We consider the problem of multi-access cache-aided multi-user Private Information Retrieval (MuPIR). In this problem, several files are replicated across multiple servers. There are $K$ users and $C$ cache nodes. Each user can access $L$…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes enable users to securely retrieve files from a server without disclosing the content of their queries, thereby preserving their privacy. In 2008, Melchor and Gaborit proposed a PIR scheme that…
Quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) is a protocol in which a user retrieves one of multiple files from $\mathsf{n}$ non-communicating servers by downloading quantum systems without revealing which file is retrieved. As variants of…
This paper investigates reducing sub-packetization of capacity-achieving schemes for uncoded Storage Constrained Private Information Retrieval (SC-PIR) systems. In the SC-PIR system, a user aims to retrieve one out of $K$ files from $N$…
