The problem of $X$-secure $T$-private information retrieval from MDS coded storage is studied in this paper, where the user wishes to privately retrieve one out of $K$ independent messages that are distributed over $N$ servers according to…

In this paper, we show that coding can be used in storage area networks (SANs) to improve various quality of service metrics under normal SAN operating conditions, without requiring additional storage space. For our analysis, we develop a…

The problem of symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) from replicated databases with colluding servers and adversaries is studied. Specifically, the database comprises $K$ files, which are replicatively stored among $N$ servers. A…

A statistical cache-aided compression problem with a privacy constraint is studied, where a server has access to a database of $N$ files, $(Y_1,...,Y_N)$, each of size $F$ bits and is linked through a shared channel to $K$ users, where each…

In this paper, we present a new perspective of single server private information retrieval (PIR) schemes by using the notion of linear error-correcting codes. Many of the known single server schemes are based on taking linear combinations…

Private computation in a distributed storage system (DSS) is a generalization of the private information retrieval (PIR) problem. In such setting a user wishes to compute a function of $f$ messages stored in $n$ noncolluding coded…

A private information retrieval (PIR) scheme allows a client to retrieve a data item $x_i$ among $n$ items $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ from $k$ servers, without revealing what $i$ is even when $t < k$ servers collude and try to learn $i$. Such a…

Coded caching schemes with low subpacketization and small transmission rate are desirable in practice due to the requirement of low implementation complexity and efficiency of the transmission. Placement delivery arrays (PDA in short) can…

We study the problem of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in the presence of prior side information. The problem setup includes a database of $K$ independent messages possibly replicated on several servers, and a user that needs to…

This work investigates the problem of demand privacy against colluding users for shared-link coded caching systems, where no subset of users can learn any information about the demands of the remaining users. The notion of privacy used here…

In this paper, we study the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) in both graph-based and multigraph-based replication systems, where each file is stored on exactly two servers, and any pair of servers shares at most $r$ files. We…

A new scheme for the problem of centralized coded caching with non-uniform demands is proposed. The distinguishing feature of the proposed placement strategy is that it admits equal sub-packetization for all files while allowing the users…

Cross-subspace alignment (CSA) codes are used in various private information retrieval (PIR) schemes (e.g., with secure storage) and in secure distributed batch matrix multiplication (SDBMM). Using a recently developed $N$-sum box…

We rethink the definition of privacy in multi-server, graph-replicated private information retrieval (PIR) systems, and introduce a novel setting where the user's privacy is governed by the servers' storage structure. In particular, while…

A functional $k$-PIR code of dimension $s$ consists of $n$ servers storing linear combinations of $s$ linearly independent information symbols. Any linear combination of the $s$ information symbols can be recovered by $k$ disjoint subsets…

Privacy of the outsourced data is one of the major challenge.Insecurity of the network environment and untrustworthiness of the service providers are obstacles of making the database as a service.Collection and storage of personally…

A new framework for interference alignment in secure and private information retrieval (PIR) from colluding servers is proposed, generalizing the original cross-subspace alignment (CSA) codes proposed by Jia, Sun, and Jafar. The general…

We study the problem of leaky private information retrieval (L-PIR), where the amount of privacy leakage is measured by the pure differential privacy parameter, referred to as the leakage ratio exponent. Unlike the previous L-PIR scheme…

We consider the secure coded caching problem proposed by Ravindrakumar et. al where no user can obtain information about files other than the one requested. We first propose three new schemes for the three cases of cache size $M=1$, $N=2$…

Private information retrieval (PIR) is a cryptographic primitive that allows a client to securely query one or multiple servers without revealing their specific interests. In spite of their strong security guarantees, current PIR…
