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…
In a distributed computing system for the master-worker framework, an erasure code can mitigate the effects of slow workers, also called stragglers. The distributed computing system combined with coding is referred to as coded computation.…
We consider the problem of noisy private information retrieval (NPIR) from $N$ non-communicating databases, each storing the same set of $M$ messages. In this model, the answer strings are not returned through noiseless bit pipes, but…
As video-streaming services have expanded and improved, cloud-based video has evolved into a necessary feature of any successful business for reaching internal and external audiences. In this paper, video streaming over distributed storage…
In this paper, we construct new t-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes with communication complexity subpolynomial in the previously best known, for all but finitely many t. Our results are based on combining derivatives (in…
In this work, we investigate the capacity of private information retrieval (PIR) from $N$ replicated databases, where a subset of the databases are untrustworthy (byzantine) in their answers to the query of the user. We allow for…
This paper introduces a generalization of the Private Information Retrieval with Side Information (PIR-SI) problem called Popularity-Aware PIR-SI (PA-PIR-SI). The PA-PIR-SI problem includes one or more remote servers storing copies of a…
A $k$-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR) code is a binary linear $[m,s]$-code admitting a generator matrix such that for every integer $i$ with $1\le i\le s$ there exist $k$ disjoint subsets of columns (called recovery sets) that…
In (single-server) Private Information Retrieval (PIR), a server holds a large database $DB$ of size $n$, and a client holds an index $i \in [n]$ and wishes to retrieve $DB[i]$ without revealing $i$ to the server. It is well known that…
On-device machine learning (ML) inference can enable the use of private user data on user devices without revealing them to remote servers. However, a pure on-device solution to private ML inference is impractical for many applications that…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is the problem of retrieving as efficiently as possible, one out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-communicating replicated databases (each holds all $K$ messages) while keeping the identity of the desired…
While differentially private synthetic data generation has been explored extensively in the literature, how to update this data in the future if the underlying private data changes is much less understood. We propose an algorithmic…
We introduce the problem of deceptive information retrieval (DIR), in which a user wishes to download a required file out of multiple independent files stored in a system of databases while \emph{deceiving} the databases by making the…
This paper considers the problem of single-server Individually-Private Information Retrieval with side information (IPIR). In this problem, there is a remote server that stores a dataset of $K$ messages, and there is a user that initially…
We introduce baseSPIDER and SPIDER, private information retrieval (PIR) schemes that embody two technical advancements. The baseSPIDER protocol operates with a single server and a stateful client that performs pre-processing and stores…
Private computation in a distributed storage system (DSS) is a generalization of the private information retrieval (PIR) problem. In such setting a user wishes to compute a function of $f$ messages stored in $n$ noncolluding coded…
Private computation is a generalization of private information retrieval, in which a user is able to compute a function on a distributed dataset without revealing the identity of that function to the servers. In this paper it is shown that…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR), despite being well studied, is computationally costly and arduous to scale. We explore lower-cost relaxations of information-theoretic PIR, based on dummy queries, sparse vectors, and compositions with…
Threshold aggregation reporting systems promise a practical, privacy-preserving solution for developers to learn how their applications are used "\emph{in-the-wild}". Unfortunately, proposed systems to date prove impractical for wide scale…
Many emerging multimedia streaming applications involve multiple users communicating under strict latency constraints. In this paper we study streaming codes for a network involving two source nodes, one relay node and a destination node.…
