We introduce the problem of \emph{timely} private information retrieval (PIR) from $N$ non-colluding and replicated servers. In this problem, a user desires to retrieve a message out of $M$ messages from the servers, whose contents are…

Decentralized Storage Networks (DSNs) are emerging as a foundational infrastructure for Web 3.0, offering global peer-to-peer storage. However, a critical vulnerability persists: user privacy during file retrieval remains largely…

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 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…

We consider the problem of downloading content from a cellular network where content is cached at the wireless edge while achieving privacy. In particular, we consider private information retrieval (PIR) of content from a library of files,…

$X$-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…

Private Computation (PC), recently introduced by Sun and Jafar, is a generalization of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in which a user wishes to privately compute an arbitrary function of data stored across several servers. We construct…

This paper addresses the problem of exponentially increasing sub-packetization with the number of users in a centralized coded caching system by introducing a new coded caching scheme inspired by the symmetric neighboring consecutive side…

We study a multi-access variant of the popular coded caching framework, which consists of a central server with a catalog of $N$ files, $K$ caches with limited memory $M$, and $K$ users such that each user has access to $L$ consecutive…

Recently, information-theoretic private information retrieval (PIR) from coded storage systems has gained a lot of attention, and a general star product PIR scheme was proposed. In this paper, the star product scheme is adopted, with…

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…

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 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…

Permissioned blockchains ensure integrity and auditability of shared data but expose query parameters to peers during read operations, creating privacy risks for organizations querying sensitive records. This paper proposes a Private…

Information theoretic analysis of a coded caching system is considered, in which a server with a database of N equal-size files, each F bits long, serves K users. Each user is assumed to have a local cache that can store M files, i.e.,…

We consider the classical coded caching problem as defined by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, where a server with a library of $N$ files of equal size is connected to $K$ users via a shared error-free link. Each user is equipped with a cache with…

Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes allow a user to retrieve a record from the server without revealing any information on which record is being downloaded. In this paper, we consider PIR schemes where the database is stored using…

A $t$-all-symbol PIR code and a $t$-all-symbol batch code of dimension $k$ consist of $n$ servers storing linear combinations of $k$ information symbols with the following recovery property: any symbol stored by a server can be recovered…

This paper considers the secretive coded caching problem with shared caches in which no user must have access to the files that it did not demand. In a shared cache network, the users are served by a smaller number of helper caches and each…

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…
