In the differentially private partition selection problem (a.k.a. private set union, private key discovery), users hold subsets of items from an unbounded universe. The goal is to output as many items as possible from the union of the…
Modern applications frequently collect and analyze temporal data in the form of multivariate time series (MTS) -- time series that contain multiple channels. A common task in this context is subsequence search, which involves identifying…
Private information retrieval (PIR) protocols ensure that a user can download a file from a database without revealing any information on the identity of the requested file to the servers storing the database. While existing protocols…
In Pliable Private Information Retrieval (PPIR) with a single server, messages are partitioned into $\Gamma$ non-overlapping classes. The user wants to retrieve a message from its desired class without revealing the identity of the desired…
We study the problem of pliable private information retrieval with side information (PPIR-SI) for the single server case. In PPIR, the messages are partitioned into nonoverlapping classes and stored in a number of noncolluding databases.…
Quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) is a protocol in which a user retrieves one of multiple files from $\mathsf{n}$ non-communicating servers by downloading quantum systems without revealing which file is retrieved. As variants of…
A Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme allows users to retrieve data from a database without disclosing to the server information about the identity of the data retrieved. A coded storage in a distributed storage system with colluding…

We study private information retrieval (PIR) on coded data with possibly colluding servers. Devising PIR schemes with optimal download rate in the case of collusion and coded data is still open in general. We provide a lifting operation…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is a mechanism for efficiently downloading messages while keeping the index of the desired message secret from the servers. PIR schemes have been extended to various scenarios with adversarial servers:…
Maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes are a class of erasure codes that are widely adopted to enhance the reliability of distributed storage systems (DSS). In (n, k) MDS coded DSS, the original data are stored into n distributed nodes in…
This paper considers the problem of single-server Private Computation (PC) in the presence of Side Information (SI). In this problem, there is a server that stores $K$ i.i.d. messages, and a user who has a subset of $M$ uncoded messages or…

This paper considers the uplink of a distributed Massive MIMO network where $N$ base stations (BSs), each equipped with $M$ antennas, receive data from $K=2$ users. We study the asymptotic spectral efficiency (as $M\to \infty$) with spatial…
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…
We consider the private information retrieval (PIR) problem for a multigraph-based replication system, where each set of $r$ files is stored on two of the servers according to an underlying $r$-multigraph. Our goal is to establish upper and…
Massive MIMO (mMIMO) enables users with different requirements to get connected to the same base station (BS) on the same set of resources. In the uplink of Multiuser massive MIMO (MU-mMIMO), while such heterogeneous users are served,…
Private information retrieval systems (PIRs) allow a user to extract an item from a database that is replicated over k>=1 servers, while satisfying various privacy constraints. We exhibit quantum k-server symmetrically-private information…
We consider the problems of Private and Secure Matrix Multiplication (PSMM) and Fully Private Matrix Multiplication (FPMM), for which matrices privately selected by a master node are multiplied at distributed worker nodes without revealing…
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…
