An oblivious subspace embedding (OSE), characterized by parameters $m,n,d,\epsilon,\delta$, is a random matrix $\Pi\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ such that for any $d$-dimensional subspace $T\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, $\Pr_\Pi[\forall x\in T,…

We demonstrate a simple, statistically secure, ORAM with computational overhead $\tilde{O}(\log^2 n)$; previous ORAM protocols achieve only computational security (under computational assumptions) or require $\tilde{\Omega}(\log^3 n)$…

Memory reclamation for lock-based data structures is typically easy. However, it is a significant challenge for lock-free data structures. Automatic techniques such as garbage collection are inefficient or use locks, and non-automatic…

We consider succinct data structures for representing a set of $n$ horizontal line segments in the plane given in rank space to support \emph{segment access}, \emph{segment selection}, and \emph{segment rank} queries. A segment access query…

We consider a static data structure problem of computing a linear operator under cell-probe model. Given a linear operator $M \in \mathbb{F}_2^{m \times n}$, the goal is to pre-process a vector $X \in \mathbb{F}_2^n$ into a data structure…

We spot a hole in the area of succinct data structures for graph classes from a universe of size at most $n^n$. Very often, the input graph is labeled by the user in an arbitrary and easy-to-use way, and the data structure for the graph…

We construct deletion error-correcting codes in the oblivious model, where errors are adversarial but oblivious to the encoder's randomness. Oblivious errors bridge the gap between the adversarial and random error models, and are motivated…

We study the median slope selection problem in the oblivious RAM model. In this model memory accesses have to be independent of the data processed, i.e., an adversary cannot use observed access patterns to derive additional information…
