In the era of extensive data growth, robust and efficient mechanisms are needed to store and manage vast amounts of digital information, such as Data Storage Systems (DSSs). Concurrently, privacy concerns have arisen, leading to the…
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…
In distributed optimization and iterative consensus literature, a standard problem is for $N$ agents to minimize a function $f$ over a subset of Euclidean space, where the cost function is expressed as a sum $\sum f_i$. In this paper, we…
Function Secret Sharing (FSS) schemes enable sharing efficiently secret functions. Schemes dedicated to point functions, referred to as Distributed Point Functions (DPFs), are the center of FSS literature thanks to their numerous…
The MDS property (aka the $k$-out-of-$n$ property) requires that if a file is split into several symbols and subsequently encoded into $n$ coded symbols, each being stored in one storage node of a distributed storage system (DSS), then an…
In this paper, we propose a class of threshold secret sharing schemes with repairing function between shares without the help of the dealer, that we called repairable threshold secret sharing schemes. Specifically, if a share fails, such as…
Coded caching has the potential to greatly reduce network traffic by leveraging the cheap and abundant storage available in end-user devices so as to create multicast opportunities in the delivery phase. In the seminal work by Maddah-Ali…
A private information retrieval scheme is a mechanism that allows a user to retrieve any one out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-communicating replicated databases, each of which stores all $K$ messages, without revealing anything about the…
In the conventional robust $T$-colluding private information retrieval (PIR) system, the user needs to retrieve one of the possible messages while keeping the identity of the requested message private from any $T$ colluding servers.…
Maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes are a class of erasure codes that are widely adopted to enhance the reliability of distributed storage systems (DSS). In (n, k) MDS coded DSS, the original data are stored into n distributed nodes in…
Information reconciliation is crucial for continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) because its performance affects the secret key rate and maximal secure transmission distance. Fixed-rate error correction codes limit the…
Motivated by the wide adoption of reinforcement learning (RL) in real-world personalized services, where users' sensitive and private information needs to be protected, we study regret minimization in finite-horizon Markov decision…
We study the problem of answering \emph{$k$-way marginal} queries on a database $D \in (\{0,1\}^d)^n$, while preserving differential privacy. The answer to a $k$-way marginal query is the fraction of the database's records $x \in \{0,1\}^d$…
In network communication, the source often transmits messages at several different information rates within a session. How to deal with information transmission and network error correction simultaneously under different rates is introduced…
Recommender Systems (RSs) have become increasingly important in many application domains, such as digital marketing. Conventional RSs often need to collect users' data, centralize them on the server-side, and form a global model to generate…
The private search problem is introduced, where a dataset comprised of $L$ i.i.d. records is replicated across $N$ non-colluding servers, each record takes values uniformly from an alphabet of size $K$, and a user wishes to search for all…
A novel class of achievable rate regions is obtained for the K-receiver broadcast channel with two groupcast messages. The associated achievability schemes are parameterized by an expansion of the message set which then determines how…
This paper considers the single-server Private Linear Transformation (PLT) problem when individual privacy is required. In this problem, there is a user that wishes to obtain $L$ linear combinations of a $D$-subset of messages belonging to…
In a distributed storage network, reliability and bandwidth optimization can be provided by regenerating codes. Recently table based regenerating codes viz. DRESS (Distributed Replication-based Exact Simple Storage) codes has been proposed…
In this paper, we introduce PrivDFS, a distributed feature-sharing framework for input-private inference in image classification. A single holistic intermediate representation in split inference gives diffusion-based Data Reconstruction…
