Privacy preservation in distributed computations is an important subject as digitization and new technologies enable collection and storage of vast amounts of data, including private data belonging to individuals. To this end, there is a…
Cooperative spectrum sensing, despite its effectiveness in enabling dynamic spectrum access, suffers from location privacy threats, merely because secondary users (SUs)' sensing reports that need to be shared with a fusion center to make…
We study the fundamental problem of index coding under an additional privacy constraint that requires each receiver to learn nothing more about the collection of messages beyond its demanded messages from the server and what is available to…
In this paper, we propose a two-party semiquantum summation protocol, where two classical users can accomplish the summation of their private binary sequences with the assistance of a quantum semi-honest third party (TP). The term…
In the classical private information retrieval (PIR) setup, a user wants to retrieve a file from a database or a distributed storage system (DSS) without revealing the file identity to the servers holding the data. In the quantum PIR (QPIR)…
The security of private communication is increasingly at risk due to widespread surveillance. Steganography, a technique for embedding secret messages within innocuous carriers, enables covert communication over monitored channels. Provably…
Multiple testing is widely applied across scientific fields, particularly in genomic and health data analysis, where protecting sensitive personal information is imperative. However, developing private multiple testing algorithms for super…

Private comparison is a primitive for many cryptographic tasks, and recently several schemes for the quantum private comparison (QPC) have been proposed, where two users can compare the equality of their secrets with the help of a…
Homomorphic secret sharing (HSS) enables two servers to locally perform functions on encrypted data directly and obtain the results in the form of shares. A Paillier-based HSS solution seamlessly achieves multiplicative homomorphism and…
Abstract. The Set Intersection Problem (SIP) is the problem of finding a point in the intersection of convex sets. This problem is typically solved by the method of alternating projections. To accelerate the convergence, the idea of using…
