This work investigates the problem of cache-aided content Secure and demand Private Linear Function Retrieval (SP-LFR), where three constraints are imposed on the system:(a) each user is interested in retrieving an arbitrary linear…
We consider the problem of weakly-private information retrieval (WPIR) when data is encoded by a maximum distance separable code and stored across multiple servers. In WPIR, a user wishes to retrieve a piece of data from a set of servers…
This paper introduces a generalization of the Private Information Retrieval with Side Information (PIR-SI) problem called Popularity-Aware PIR-SI (PA-PIR-SI). The PA-PIR-SI problem includes one or more remote servers storing copies of a…
We study the capacity of quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) with multiple servers. In the QPIR problem with multiple servers, a user retrieves a classical file by downloading quantum systems from multiple servers each of which…
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…
We study the role of coded side information in single-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR). An instance of the single-server PIR problem includes a server that stores a database of $K$ independently and uniformly distributed messages,…
A $k$-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR) code is a binary linear $[m,s]$-code admitting a generator matrix such that for every integer $i$ with $1\le i\le s$ there exist $k$ disjoint subsets of columns (called recovery sets) that…
In this paper, we study the coded caching scheme for the $(L, K, M, N)$ multi-user information retrieval (MIR) system, which consists of a content library containing $N$ files, a base station (BS) with $L$ antennas that cannot access the…
The distributed coded caching problem has been studied extensively in the recent past. While the known coded caching schemes achieve an improved transmission rate, they violate the privacy of the users since in these schemes the demand of…
In this paper we present an attack on a recently proposed code-based Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme. Indeed, the server can retrieve the index of the desired file with high probability in polynomial time. The attack relies on…
Spectrum database-based cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have become the de facto approach for enabling unlicensed secondary users (SUs) to identify spectrum vacancies in channels owned by licensed primary users (PUs). Despite its merits,…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is a database query protocol that provides user privacy, in that the user can learn a particular entry of the database of his interest but his query would be hidden from the data centre. Symmetric private…
We study the problem of private function retrieval (PFR) in a distributed storage system. In PFR the user wishes to retrieve a linear combination of $M$ messages stored in non-colluding $(N,K)$ MDS coded databases while revealing no…
This work considers the problem of privately outsourcing the computation of a matrix product over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ to $N$ helper servers. These servers are considered to be honest but curious, i.e., they behave according to the…
Multi-server single-message private information retrieval is studied in the presence of side information. In this problem, $K$ independent messages are replicatively stored at $N$ non-colluding servers. The user wants to privately download…
The notion of a Private Information Retrieval (PIR) code was recently introduced by Fazeli, Vardy and Yaakobi who showed that this class of codes permit PIR at reduced levels of storage overhead in comparison with replicated-server PIR. In…
We investigate the demand private coded caching problem, which is an $(N,K)$ coded caching problem with $N$ files, $K$ users, each equipped with a cache of size $M$, and an additional privacy constraint on user demands, i.e., each user can…
Since the concept of locally decodable codes was introduced by Katz and Trevisan in 2000, it is well-known that information the-oretically secure private information retrieval schemes can be built using locally decodable codes. In this…
$X$-secure and $T$-private information retrieval (XSTPIR) is a form of private information retrieval where data security is guaranteed against collusion among up to $X$ servers and the user's privacy is guaranteed against collusion among up…
Consider the problem of Private Information Retrieval (PIR), where a user wishes to retrieve a single message from $N$ non-communicating and non-colluding databases (servers). All servers store the same set of $M$ messages and they respond…
