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…

Quantum private query (QPQ) is the quantum version for symmetrically private retrieval. However, the user privacy in QPQ is generally guarded in the non-realtime and cheat sensitive way. That is, the dishonest database holder's cheating to…

We consider the problem of symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) with user-side common randomness. In SPIR, a user retrieves a message out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-colluding and replicated databases in such a way that no single…

In information-theoretic private information retrieval (PIR), a client wants to retrieve one desired file out of $M$ files, stored across $N$ servers, while keeping the index of the desired file private from each $T$-sized subset of…

We study a class of private information retrieval (PIR) methods that we call one-shot schemes. The intuition behind one-shot schemes is the following. The user's query is regarded as a dot product of a query vector and the message vector…
