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…

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…
