Cloud computing enables users to process and store data remotely on high-performance computers and servers by sharing data over the Internet. However, transferring data to clouds causes unavoidable privacy concerns. Here, we present a…
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,…
In a secure coded caching system, a central server balances the traffic flow between peak and off-peak periods by distributing some public data to the users' caches in advance. Meanwhile, these data are securely protected against the…
Nowadays, the utilization of the ever expanding amount of data has made a huge impact on web technologies while also causing various types of security concerns. On one hand, potential gains are highly anticipated if different organizations…
In this paper, we analyze the problem of optimally allocating resources in a distributed and privacy-preserving manner. We propose a novel distributed optimal resource allocation algorithm with privacy-preserving guarantees, which operates…
This paper puts a new light on secure data storage inside distributed systems. Specifically, it revisits computational secret sharing in a situation where the encryption key is exposed to an attacker. It comes with several contributions:…
This paper proposes a system, entitled Concealer that allows sharing time-varying spatial data (e.g., as produced by sensors) in encrypted form to an untrusted third-party service provider to provide location-based applications (involving…
We consider the following problem that arises in outsourced storage: a user stores her data $x$ on a remote server but wants to audit the server at some later point to make sure it actually did store $x$. The goal is to design a…
We examine the problem of creating an encoded distributed storage representation of a data object for a network of mobile storage nodes so as to achieve the optimal recovery delay. A source node creates a single data object and disseminates…
We propose a variant of the well-known AONT-RS scheme for dispersed storage systems. The novelty consists in replacing the Reed-Solomon code with rateless Luby transform codes. The resulting system, named AONT-LT, is able to improve the…
Learning from data owned by several parties, as in federated learning, raises challenges regarding the privacy guarantees provided to participants and the correctness of the computation in the presence of malicious parties. We tackle these…
Distributed computing frameworks such as MapReduce have become essential for large-scale data processing by decomposing tasks across multiple nodes. The multi-access distributed computing (MADC) model further advances this paradigm by…
Existing approaches to distributed matrix computations involve allocating coded combinations of submatrices to worker nodes, to build resilience to stragglers and/or enhance privacy. In this study, we consider the challenge of preserving…
In the conventional robust $T$-colluding private information retrieval (PIR) system, the user needs to retrieve one of the possible messages while keeping the identity of the requested message private from any $T$ colluding servers.…
This demo presents the first implementation of multi-layer secret sharing on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) 5G user equipment (UE), operating without infrastructure modifications or pre-shared keys. Our XOR-based approach distributes…
In cache-aided networks, the server populates the cache memories at the users during low-traffic periods, in order to reduce the delivery load during peak-traffic hours. In turn, there exists a fundamental trade-off between the delivery…
In a Private Information Retrieval (PIR) protocol, a user can download a file from a database without revealing the identity of the file to each individual server. A PIR protocol is called $t$-private if the identity of the file remains…
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…
A multi-user private data compression problem is studied. A server has access to a database of $N$ files, $(Y_1,...,Y_N)$, each of size $F$ bits and is connected to an encoder. The encoder is connected through an unsecured link to a user.…
In this paper we extend the notion of {\em locally repairable} codes to {\em secret sharing} schemes. The main problem that we consider is to find optimal ways to distribute shares of a secret among a set of storage-nodes (participants)…
