In order to preserve the privacy of the users demands from other users, in this paper we formulate a novel information theoretic Device-to-Device (D2D) private caching model by adding a trusted server. In the delivery phase, the trusted…

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…
