We study the role of coded side information in single-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR). An instance of the single-server PIR problem includes a server that stores a database of $K$ independently and uniformly distributed messages,…

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.…

In private information delivery (PID) problem, there are $K$ messages stored across $N$ servers, each capable of storing $M$ messages and a user. Servers want to convey one of the $K$ messages to the user without revealing the identity…

In the traditional index coding problem, a server employs coding to send messages to $n$ clients within the same broadcast domain. Each client already has some messages as side information and requests a particular unknown message from the…

We study the problem of single-server single-message Private Information Retrieval with Private Coded Side Information (PIR-PCSI). In this problem, there is a server that stores a database, and a user who knows a random linear combination…

Pliable index coding considers a server with m messages, and n clients where each has as side information a subset of the messages. We seek to minimize the number of transmissions the server should make, so that each client receives (any)…

This paper considers the problem of single-server Private Computation (PC) in the presence of Side Information (SI). In this problem, there is a server that stores $K$ i.i.d. messages, and a user who has a subset of $M$ uncoded messages or…

Using a broadcast channel to transmit clients' data requests may impose privacy risks. In this paper, we address such privacy concerns in the index coding framework. We show how a malicious client can infer some information about the…

Index coding studies multiterminal source-coding problems where a set of receivers are required to decode multiple (possibly different) messages from a common broadcast, and they each know some messages a priori. In this paper, at the…

We introduce the blind index coding (BIC) problem, in which a single sender communicates distinct messages to multiple users over a shared channel. Each user has partial knowledge of each message as side information. However, unlike classic…

This paper studies a special class of multicast index coding problems where a sender transmits messages to multiple receivers, each with some side information. Here, each receiver knows a unique message a priori, and there is no restriction…

Index coding, or broadcasting with side information, is a network coding problem of most fundamental importance. In this problem, given a directed graph, each vertex represents a user with a need of information, and the neighborhood of each…

Index coding and coded caching are two active research topics in information theory with strong ties to each other. Motivated by the multi-access coded caching problem, we study a new class of structured index coding problems (ICPs) which…

Index coding employs coding across clients within the same broadcast domain. This typically assumes that all clients learn the coding matrix so that they can decode and retrieve their requested data. However, learning the coding matrix can…
