Recently it was shown that the seminal Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN) coded caching scheme leaks the demand information of each user to the others. Many works have considered coded caching with demand privacy, while each non-trivial existing…

We consider a variant of the coded caching problem where users connect to two types of caches, called private and access caches. The problem setting consists of a server with a library of files and a set of access caches. Each user,…

In the coded caching problem, as originally formulated by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, a server communicates via a noiseless shared broadcast link to multiple users that have local storage capability. In order for a user to decode its demanded…

The idea of coded caching was introduced by Maddah-Ali and Niesen who demonstrated the advantages of coding in caching problems. To capture the essence of the problem, they introduced the $(N, K)$ canonical cache network in which $K$ users…

The idea of coded caching for content distribution networks was introduced by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, who considered the canonical $(N, K)$ cache network in which a server with $N$ files satisfy the demands of $K$ users (equipped with…

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…

A statistical cache-aided compression problem with a privacy constraint is studied, where a server has access to a database of $N$ files, $(Y_1,...,Y_N)$, each of size $F$ bits and is linked through a shared channel to $K$ users, where each…

This paper considers the problem of multi-server Private Linear Computation, under the joint and individual privacy guarantees. In this problem, identical copies of a dataset comprised of $K$ messages are stored on $N$ non-colluding…

For a caching system with multiple users, we aim to characterize the memory-rate tradeoff for caching with uncoded cache placement, under nonuniform file popularity. Focusing on the modified coded caching scheme (MCCS) recently proposed by…

This work studies the coded caching problem in a setting where the users are simultaneously endowed with a private cache and a shared cache. The setting consists of a server connected to a set of users, assisted by a smaller number of…

This paper considers the secretive coded caching problem with shared caches in which no user must have access to the files that it did not demand. In a shared cache network, the users are served by a smaller number of helper caches and each…

Coded caching is a technique that leverages locally cached contents at the end users to reduce the network's peak-time communication load. Coded caching has been shown to achieve significant performance gains compared to uncoded schemes and…

Private information retrieval (PIR) allows a user to retrieve a desired message out of $K$ possible messages from $N$ databases without revealing the identity of the desired message. Majority of existing works on PIR assume the presence of…

We consider the classical coded caching problem as defined by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, where a server with a library of $N$ files of equal size is connected to $K$ users via a shared error-free link. Each user is equipped with a cache with…

The coded caching problem with secrecy constraint i.e., the users should not be able to gain any information about the content of the files that they did not demand, is known as the secretive coded caching problem. This was proposed by…
