The increasing adoption of Cloud-based data processing and storage poses a number of privacy issues. Users wish to preserve full control over their sensitive data and cannot accept it to be fully accessible to an external storage provider.…
Recent developments in cloud storage architectures have originated new models of online storage as cooperative storage systems and interconnected clouds. Such distributed environments involve many organizations, thus ensuring…
Distributed storage plays an essential role in realizing robust and secure data storage in a network over long periods of time. A distributed storage system consists of a data owner machine, multiple storage servers and channels to link…
The main aim of this paper is to construct a multi-secret sharing scheme for general access structure in a trusted dealer model using suitable hash function and Lagrange's interpolation method. Even though, the proposed scheme is a…
Consider the communication efficient secret sharing problem. A dealer wants to share a secret with $n$ parties such that any $k\leq n$ parties can reconstruct the secret and any $z<k$ parties eavesdropping on their shares obtain no…
This work investigates the design of sparse secret sharing schemes that encode a sparse private matrix into sparse shares. This investigation is motivated by distributed computing, where the multiplication of sparse and private matrices is…
We address the problem of securing distributed storage systems against passive eavesdroppers that can observe a limited number of storage nodes. An important aspect of these systems is node failures over time, which demand a repair…
We consider the problem of \emph{secretive coded caching} in a shared cache setup where the number of users accessing a particular \emph{helper cache} is more than one, and every user can access exactly one helper cache. In secretive coded…
This work introduces the \emph{Secure and Private Structured-Subset Retrieval (SPSSR)} problem. In SPSSR, a user wishes to retrieve one subset from an arbitrary family of size-$D$ subsets from $K$ messages replicated across $N$…
Consider a user who wishes to store a file in multiple servers such that at least t servers are needed to reconstruct the file, and z colluding servers cannot learn any information about the file. Unlike traditional secret-sharing models,…
A secret key agreement setup between three users is considered in which each of the users 1 and 2 intends to share a secret key with user 3 and users 1 and 2 are eavesdroppers with respect to each other. The three users observe i.i.d.…
Federated Learning (FL) solutions with central Differential Privacy (DP) have seen large improvements in their utility in recent years arising from the matrix mechanism, while FL solutions with distributed (more private) DP have lagged…
Redundant storage maintains the performance of distributed systems under various forms of uncertainty. This paper considers the uncertainty in node access and download service. We consider two access models under two download service…
The rising need of secret image sharing with high security has led to much advancement in lucrative exchange of important images which contain vital and confidential information. Multi secret image sharing system (MSIS) is an efficient and…
In the coded caching problem, as originally formulated by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, a server communicates via a noiseless shared broadcast link to multiple users that have local storage capability. In order for a user to decode its demanded…
A secret key agreement framework between three users is considered in which each of the users 1 and 2 intends to share a secret key with user 3 and users 1 and 2 are eavesdroppers with respect to each other. There is a generalized discrete…
Consider the problem of storing data in a distributed manner over $T$ servers. Specifically, the data needs to (i) be recoverable from any $\tau$ servers, and (ii) remain private from any $z$ colluding servers, where privacy is quantified…
In this paper we consider distributed allocation problems with memory constraint limits. Firstly, we propose a tractable relaxation to the problem of optimal symmetric allocations from [1]. The approximated problem is based on the Q-error…
Conditional disclosure of secrets (CDS) allows multiple parties to reveal a secret to a third party if and only if some pre-decided condition is satisfied. In this work, we bolster the privacy guarantees of CDS by introducing…
The demand private coded caching problem in a multi-access network with $K$ users and $K$ caches, where each user has access to $L$ neighbouring caches in a cyclic wrap-around manner, is studied. The additional constraint imposed is that…
