This paper introduces a novel lower bound on communication complexity using quantum relative entropy and mutual information, refining previous classical entropy-based results. By leveraging Uhlmann's lemma and quantum Pinsker inequalities,…
We study the problem of pliable private information retrieval with side information (PPIR-SI) for the single server case. In PPIR, the messages are partitioned into nonoverlapping classes and stored in a number of noncolluding databases.…
This paper considers the problem of single-server single-message private information retrieval with coded side information (PIR-CSI). In this problem, there is a server storing a database, and a user which knows a linear combination of a…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) is a fundamental cryptographic primitive that enables users to retrieve data from a database without revealing which item is being accessed, thereby preserving query privacy. However, PIR protocols also…
We propose a new caching scheme where linear combinations of the file segments are cached at the users, for the cases where the number of files is no greater than the number of users. When a user requests a certain file in the delivery…
Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) techniques have been widely researched and in service with the help of cloud computing like Google Images. However, the images always contain rich sensitive information. In this case, the privacy…
A \emph{private proximity retrieval} (\emph{PPR}) scheme is a protocol which allows a user to retrieve the identities of all records in a database that are within some distance $r$ from the user's record $x$. The user's \emph{privacy} at…
Coded caching is an effective technique to decongest the amount of traffic in the backhaul link. In such a scheme, each file hosted in the server is divided into a number of packets to pursue a low transmission rate based on the delicate…
Multi-message private information retrieval (MPIR) is an interesting variation of PIR which allows a user to download multiple messages from the database without revealing the identity of the desired messages. Obviously, the user can…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is the problem of retrieving as efficiently as possible, one out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-communicating replicated databases (each holds all $K$ messages) while keeping the identity of the desired…
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…
In the private information retrieval (PIR) problem, a user wants to retrieve a file from a database without revealing any information about the desired file's identity to the servers that store the database. In this paper, we study the PIR…
In the $K$-user single-input single-output (SISO) frequency-selective fading interference channel, it is shown that the maximal achievable multiplexing gain is almost surely $K/2$ by using interference alignment (IA). However, when the…
Recently it was shown that the seminal Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN) coded caching scheme leaks the demand information of each user to the others. Many works have considered coded caching with demand privacy, while each non-trivial existing…
We consider the problem of designing a Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme on $m$ files replicated on $k$ servers that can collude or, even worse, can return incorrect answers. Our goal is to correctly retrieve a specific message…
In this paper, we address the problem of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) over a public Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. In such a setup, the server's responses are visible to other servers. Thus, a curious server can listen…
Conventional coded computing frameworks are predominantly tailored for structured computations, such as matrix multiplication and polynomial evaluation. Such tasks allow the reuse of tools and techniques from algebraic coding theory to…

In this work private information retrieval (PIR) codes are studied. In a $k$-PIR code, $s$ information bits are encoded in such a way that every information bit has $k$ mutually disjoint recovery sets. The main problem under this paradigm…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) over a distributed storage system. The storage system consists of $N$ non-colluding databases, each storing a coded version of $M$ messages. In the PIR problem, the user wishes…
