Private information retrieval from a single server is considered, utilizing random linear codes. Presented is a modified version of the first code-based single-server computational PIR scheme proposed by Holzbaur, Hollanti, and Wachter-Zeh…
This paper revisits the problems of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) and Symmetric PIR (SPIR). In PIR, a user retrieves a desired message from $N$ replicated, non-communicating databases, each storing the same $M$ messages, while…
We introduce the \emph{Private Contiguous-Block Retrieval (PCBR)} problem, where a user retrieves a block of $D$ messages with contiguous indices from $K$ replicated messages stored across $N$ non-colluding servers, while hiding the…
We design new minimal-subpacketization schemes for information-theoretic private information retrieval on graph-based replicated databases. In graph-based replication, the system consists of $K$ files replicated across $N$ servers according…
We consider a coded caching problem with multiple demands under a privacy constraint. In this problem, a server with access to \(N\) files serves \(K\) users over a shared link, and each user requests \(L\) distinct files. The privacy…
Quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) is a protocol in which a user retrieves one of multiple classical files by downloading quantum systems from non-communicating $\mathsf{n}$ servers each of which contains a copy of all files,…
We study Private Information Retrieval with Side Information (PIR-SI) in the single-server multi-message setting. In this setting, a user wants to download $D$ messages from a database of $K\geq D$ messages, stored on a single server,…
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…
A multi-access network consisting of $N$ files, $C$ caches, $K$ users with each user having access to a unique set of $r$ caches has been introduced recently by Muralidhar et al. ("Maddah-Ali-Niesen Scheme for Multi-access Coded Caching,"…
A centralized coded caching system, consisting of a server delivering N popular files, each of size F bits, to K users through an error-free shared link, is considered. It is assumed that each user is equipped with a local cache memory with…
This paper considers the secretive coded caching problem with shared caches in which no user must have access to the files that it did not demand. In a shared cache network, the users are served by a smaller number of helper caches and each…
Suppose a database containing $M$ records is replicated in each of $N$ servers, and a user wants to privately retrieve one record by accessing the servers such that identity of the retrieved record is secret against any up to $T$ servers. A…
We introduce the \emph{Private Structured-Subset Retrieval (PSSR)} problem, where a user retrieves $D$ messages from a database of $K$ messages replicated across $N$ non-colluding servers, and the demand is restricted to a known structured…
A $(K, N, T, K_c)$ instance of the MDS-TPIR problem is comprised of $K$ messages and $N$ distributed servers. Each message is separately encoded through a $(K_c, N)$ MDS storage code. A user wishes to retrieve one message, as efficiently as…
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…
In this paper, we present a new perspective of single server private information retrieval (PIR) schemes by using the notion of linear error-correcting codes. Many of the known single server schemes are based on taking linear combinations…
In many applications, content accessed by users (movies, videos, news articles, etc.) can leak sensitive latent attributes, such as religious and political views, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, and others. To prevent such…
We consider the problem of $T$-Private Information Retrieval with private side information (TPIR-PSI). In this problem, $N$ replicated databases store $K$ independent messages, and a user, equipped with a local cache that holds $M$ messages…
In this paper, we consider a multi-access coded caching system with decentralized prefetching, where a server hosts $N$ files, each of size $F$ bits, and is connected to $K$ users through a shared link. There are $c$ caches distributed…
A centralized coded caching scheme has been proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen to reduce the worst-case load of a network consisting of a server with access to N files and connected through a shared link to K users, each equipped with a…
