Cloud computing provides scientists a platform that can deploy computation and data intensive applications without infrastructure investment. With excessive cloud resources and a decision support system, large generated data sets can be…
In this paper, we propose a novel content based-image retrieval scheme allowing the mixed use of encrypted and plain images for the first time. In the proposed scheme, images are encrypted by a block-scrambling method developed for…
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…
The problem of symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) from a coded database which is distributively stored among colluding servers is studied. Specifically, the database comprises $K$ files, which are stored among $N$ servers using…
We introduce the \emph{Private Contiguous-Block Retrieval (PCBR)} problem, where a user retrieves a block of $D$ messages with contiguous indices from $K$ replicated messages stored across $N$ non-colluding servers, while hiding the…
For caching with nonuniform file popularity, we aim to characterize the memory-rate tradeoff under uncoded cache placement. We consider the recently proposed Modified Coded Caching Scheme (MCCS) with the optimized cache placement based on…
Distributed storage infrastructures require the use of data redundancy to achieve high data reliability. Unfortunately, the use of redundancy introduces storage and communication overheads, which can either reduce the overall storage…
In a distributed storage system, private information retrieval (PIR) guarantees that a user retrieves one file from the system without revealing any information about the identity of its interested file to any individual server. In this…
The continuously increasing amount of digital data generated by today's society asks for better storage solutions. This survey looks at a new generation of coding techniques designed specifically for the needs of distributed networked…
We study the problem of single-server single-message Private Information Retrieval with Private Coded Side Information (PIR-PCSI). In this problem, there is a server that stores a database, and a user who knows a random linear combination…
Distributed storage systems for large-scale applications typically use replication for reliability. Recently, erasure codes were used to reduce the large storage overhead, while increasing data reliability. A main limitation of…
Distributed storage codes have important applications in the design of modern storage systems. In a distributed storage system, every storage node has a probability to fail and once an individual storage node fails, it must be reconstructed…
A homomorphic secret sharing (HSS) scheme is a secret sharing scheme that supports evaluating functions on shared secrets by means of a local mapping from input shares to output shares. We initiate the study of the download rate of HSS,…
In this paper, we introduce a model of a single-failure locally recoverable distributed storage system. This model appears to give rise to a problem seemingly dual of the well-studied index coding problem. The relation between the…
In this paper, we study the problem of \emph{private and secure distributed matrix multiplication (PSDMM)}, where a user having a private matrix $A$ and $N$ non-colluding servers sharing a library of $L$ ($L>1$) matrices $B^{(0)},…
Any secured system can be modeled as a capability-based access control system in which each user is given a set of secret keys of the resources he is granted access to. In some large systems with resource-constrained devices, such as sensor…
As conventional storage density reaches its physical limits, the cost of a gigabyte of storage is no longer plummeting, but rather has remained mostly flat for the past decade. Meanwhile, file sizes continue to grow, leading to ever fuller…
In this paper we extend the notion of {\em locally repairable} codes to {\em secret sharing} schemes. The main problem that we consider is to find optimal ways to distribute shares of a secret among a set of storage-nodes (participants)…
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…
We consider the problem of noisy private information retrieval (NPIR) from $N$ non-communicating databases, each storing the same set of $M$ messages. In this model, the answer strings are not returned through noiseless bit pipes, but…
