We present a private information retrieval (PIR) scheme that allows a user to retrieve a single message from an arbitrary number of databases by colluding with other users while hiding the desired message index. This scheme is of particular…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes allow clients to retrieve files from a database without disclosing the requested file's identity to the server. In the pursuit of post-quantum security, most recent PIR schemes rely on hard…
In the era of extensive data growth, robust and efficient mechanisms are needed to store and manage vast amounts of digital information, such as Data Storage Systems (DSSs). Concurrently, privacy concerns have arisen, leading to the…
In information-theoretic private information retrieval (PIR), a client wants to retrieve one desired file out of $M$ files, stored across $N$ servers, while keeping the index of the desired file private from each $T$-sized subset of…
Private information retrieval (PIR) schemes (with or without colluding servers) have been proposed for realistic coded distributed data storage systems. Star product PIR schemes with colluding servers for general coded distributed storage…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) was first proposed by B. Chor, O. Goldreich, E. Kushilevitz and M. Sudan in their 1995 FOCS paper. For MDS coded distributed storage system private information retrieval was proposed and the capacity of…
We consider the problem of multi-message private information retrieval (MPIR) from $N$ non-communicating replicated databases. In MPIR, the user is interested in retrieving $P$ messages out of $M$ stored messages without leaking the…
We consider the problem of downloading content from a cellular network where content is cached at the wireless edge while achieving privacy. In particular, we consider private information retrieval (PIR) of content from a library of files,…
In the private information retrieval (PIR) problem, a user wants to retrieve a file from a database without revealing any information about the desired file's identity to the servers that store the database. In this paper, we study the PIR…
This paper investigates reducing sub-packetization of capacity-achieving schemes for uncoded Storage Constrained Private Information Retrieval (SC-PIR) systems. In the SC-PIR system, a user aims to retrieve one out of $K$ files from $N$…
We consider the problem of symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) with user-side common randomness. In SPIR, a user retrieves a message out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-colluding and replicated databases in such a way that no single…
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…
A private information retrieval (PIR) scheme on coded storage systems with colluding, byzantine, and non-responsive servers is presented. Furthermore, the scheme can also be used for symmetric PIR in the same setting. An explicit scheme…
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…
In this work private information retrieval (PIR) codes are studied. In a $k$-PIR code, $s$ information bits are encoded in such a way that every information bit has $k$ mutually disjoint recovery sets. The main problem under this paradigm…
Privacy of the outsourced data is one of the major challenge.Insecurity of the network environment and untrustworthiness of the service providers are obstacles of making the database as a service.Collection and storage of personally…
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…
Motivated by an open problem and a conjecture, this work studies the problem of single server private information retrieval with private coded side information (PIR-PCSI) that was recently introduced by Heidarzadeh et al. The goal of…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval through wiretap channel II (PIR-WTC-II). In PIR-WTC-II, a user wants to retrieve a single message (file) privately out of $M$ messages, which are stored in $N$ replicated and…
We study the problem of private function retrieval (PFR) in a distributed storage system. In PFR the user wishes to retrieve a linear combination of $M$ messages stored in non-colluding $(N,K)$ MDS coded databases while revealing no…
