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…
A Private Information Retrieval (PIR) protocol based on coding theory for a single server is proposed. It provides computational security against linear algebra attacks, addressing the main drawback of previous PIR proposals based on coding…
Suppose a database containing $M$ records is replicated across $N$ 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…
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…
We study the problem of pliable private information retrieval with side information (PPIR-SI) for the single server case. In PPIR, the messages are partitioned into nonoverlapping classes and stored in a number of noncolluding databases.…
We consider the private information retrieval (PIR) problem from decentralized uncoded caching databases. There are two phases in our problem setting, a caching phase, and a retrieval phase. In the caching phase, a data center containing…
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…
A private information retrieval (PIR) scheme is a protocol that allows a user to retrieve a file from a database without revealing the identity of the desired file to a curious database. Given a distributed data storage system, efficient…
A 2-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme allows a user to retrieve the $i$th bit of an $n$-bit database replicated among two servers (which do not communicate) while not revealing any information about $i$ to either server. In…
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 $r$ of the symbols from each of the $K$ stored messages in…
A recent method to certify the classical capacity of quantum communication channels is applied for general damping channels in finite dimension. The method compares the mutual information obtained by coding on the computational and a…

This paper focuses on the Private Linear Transformation (PLT) problem in the multi-server scenario. In this problem, there are $N$ servers, each of which stores an identical copy of a database consisting of $K$ independent messages, and…
We consider private information retrieval (PIR) of a single file out of $K$ files from $N$ non-colluding databases with heterogeneous storage constraints $\mathbf{m}=(m_1, \cdots, m_N)$. The aim of this work is to jointly design the content…
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…
The capacity of symmetric private information retrieval with $K$ messages, $N$ servers (out of which any $T$ may collude), and an omniscient Byzantine adversary (who can corrupt any $B$ answers) is shown to be $1 - \frac{T+2B}{N}$ [1],…
Accelerating computational tasks with quantum resources is a widely-pursued goal that is presently limited by the challenges associated with high-fidelity control of many-body quantum systems. The paradigm of reservoir computing presents an…
We study private classical communication over quantum multiple-access channels. For an arbitrary number of transmitters, we derive a regularized expression of the capacity region. In the case of degradable channels, we establish a…
We consider the storage problem in an asymmetric $X$-secure private information retrieval (A-XPIR) setting. The A-XPIR setting considers the $X$-secure PIR problem (XPIR) when a given arbitrary set of servers is communicating. We focus on…
