We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) of a single message out of $K$ messages from $N$ replicated and non-colluding databases where a cache-enabled user (retriever) of cache-size $M$ possesses side information in…

This paper presents private information retrieval (PIR) schemes for coded storage with colluding servers, which are not restricted to maximum distance separable (MDS) codes. PIR schemes for general linear codes are constructed and the…

This paper introduces the problem of Private Linear Transformation (PLT) which generalizes the problems of private information retrieval and private linear computation. The PLT problem includes one or more remote server(s) storing…
