Private information retrieval (PIR) is the problem of retrieving as efficiently as possible, one out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-communicating replicated databases (each holds all $K$ messages) while keeping the identity of the desired…

We investigate the problem of semantic private information retrieval (semantic PIR). In semantic PIR, a user retrieves a message out of $K$ independent messages stored in $N$ replicated and non-colluding databases without revealing the…

In the private information retrieval (PIR) problem a user wishes to retrieve, as efficiently as possible, one out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-communicating databases (each holds all $K$ messages) while revealing nothing about the identity…

The problem of private information retrieval (PIR) is to retrieve one message out of $K$ messages replicated at $N$ databases, without revealing the identity of the desired message to the databases. We consider the problem of PIR with…

We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) over a distributed storage system. The storage system consists of $N$ non-colluding databases, each storing a coded version of $M$ messages. In the PIR problem, the user wishes…

We formulate a new variant of the private information retrieval (PIR) problem where the user is pliable, i.e., interested in any message from a desired subset of the available dataset, denoted as pliable private information retrieval…

Private information retrieval (PIR) is a privacy setting that allows a user to download a required message from a set of messages stored in a system of databases without revealing the index of the required message to the databases. PIR was…

We consider the classical setting of private information retrieval (PIR) of a single message (file) out of $M$ messages from $N$ distributed databases under the new constraint of \emph{asymmetric traffic} from databases. In this problem,…

Private information retrieval (PIR) is the problem of privately retrieving one out of $M$ original files from $N$ severs, i.e., each individual server learns nothing about the file that the user is requesting. Usually, the $M$ files are…

Consider Private Information Retrieval (PIR), where a client wants to retrieve one file out of $K$ files that are replicated in $N$ different servers and the client selection must remain private when up to $T$ servers may collude.…

We study the problem of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in the presence of prior side information. The problem setup includes a database of $K$ independent messages possibly replicated on several servers, and a user that needs to…

We consider the problem of noisy private information retrieval (NPIR) from $N$ non-communicating databases, each storing the same set of $M$ messages. In this model, the answer strings are not returned through noiseless bit pipes, but…

We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) where a single user with private side information aims to retrieve multiple files from a library stored (uncoded) at a number of servers. We assume the side information at the…

We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) of a single message out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-colluding and non-replicated databases. Different from the majority of the existing literature, which considers the case of…

Given a database, the private information retrieval (PIR) protocol allows a user to make queries to several servers and retrieve a certain item of the database via the feedbacks, without revealing the privacy of the specific item to any…

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…

We rethink the definition of privacy in multi-server, graph-replicated private information retrieval (PIR) systems, and introduce a novel setting where the user's privacy is governed by the servers' storage structure. In particular, while…

We study the problem of weakly private information retrieval (PIR) when there is heterogeneity in servers' trustworthiness under the maximal leakage (Max-L) metric and mutual information (MI) metric. A user wishes to retrieve a desired…
