The Quantum Private Query is a quantum cryptographic protocol to recover information from a database, preserving both user and data privacy: the user can test whether someone has retained information on which query was asked, and the…
In this paper, we consider the multi-server setting of Private Information Retrieval with Private Coded Side Information (PIR-PCSI) problem. In this problem, there is a database of $K$ messages whose copies are replicated across $N$…
We consider private information retrieval (PIR) for distributed storage systems (DSSs) with noncolluding nodes where data is stored using a non maximum distance separable (MDS) linear code. It was recently shown that if data is stored using…
This paper presents new solutions for Private Information Retrieval (PIR) with side information. This problem is motivated by PIR settings in which a client has side information about the data held by the servers and would like to leverage…
A 2-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme allows a user to retrieve the $i$th bit of an $n$-bit database replicated among two servers (which do not communicate) while not revealing any information about $i$ to either server. In…
The widespread use of cloud computing services raises the question of how one can delegate the processing tasks to the untrusted distributed parties without breeching the privacy of its data and algorithms. Motivated by the algorithm…
Authenticated private information retrieval (APIR) is the state-of-the-art error-detecting private information retrieval (ED-PIR), using Distributed Point Functions (DPFs) for subpolynomial complexity and privacy. However, its finite field…
Quantum Private Query (QPQ) based on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is among the most practically viable quantum communication protocols, with application value second only to QKD itself. However, prevalent security vulnerabilities in the…
In a typical formulation of the private information retrieval (PIR) problem, a single user wishes to retrieve one out of $ K$ files from $N$ servers without revealing the demanded file index to any server. This paper formulates an extended…
The problem of cache enabled private information retrieval (PIR) is considered in which a user wishes to privately retrieve one out of $K$ messages, each of size $L$ bits from $N$ distributed databases. The user has a local cache of storage…
We consider the private information retrieval (PIR) problem from decentralized uncoded caching databases. There are two phases in our problem setting, a caching phase, and a retrieval phase. In the caching phase, a data center containing…
Private information retrieval from a single server is considered, utilizing random linear codes. Presented is a modified version of the first code-based single-server computational PIR scheme proposed by Holzbaur, Hollanti, and Wachter-Zeh…
In many applications, content accessed by users (movies, videos, news articles, etc.) can leak sensitive latent attributes, such as religious and political views, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, and others. To prevent such…
This paper revisits the problem of multi-server Private Information Retrieval with Private Side Information (PIR-PSI). In this problem, $N$ non-colluding servers store identical copies of $K$ messages, each comprising $L$ symbols from…
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) allows a client to privately access a database without revealing which element is accessed. Initial PIR protocols based on Ring Learning with Errors (RLWE) demonstrated the practicality of PIR, but…
In the conventional robust $T$-colluding private information retrieval (PIR) system, the user needs to retrieve one of the possible messages while keeping the identity of the requested message private from any $T$ colluding servers.…
In this paper, we study the multi-server setting of the \emph{Private Information Retrieval with Coded Side Information (PIR-CSI)} problem. In this problem, there are $K$ messages replicated across $N$ servers, and there is a user who…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) problem has recently attracted a significant interest in the information-theory community. In this problem, a user wants to privately download one or more messages belonging to a database with copies…
Private information retrieval (PIR), a privacy-preserving cryptographic tool, solves a simplified version of this problem by hiding the database item that a client accesses. Most PIR protocols require the client to know the exact row index…
