We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) with colluding servers and eavesdroppers (abbreviated as ETPIR). The ETPIR problem is comprised of $K$ messages, $N$ servers where each server stores all $K$ messages, a user…
The capacity has recently been characterized for the private information retrieval (PIR) problem as well as several of its variants. In every case it is assumed that all the queries are generated by the user simultaneously. Here we consider…
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 consider the problem of symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) with user-side common randomness. In SPIR, a user retrieves a message out of $K$ messages from $N$ non-colluding and replicated databases in such a way that no single…
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…
We study the private information retrieval (PIR) problem under arbitrary collusion pattern for replicated databases. We find its capacity, which is the same as the capacity of the original PIR problem with the number of databases $N$…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes allow clients to retrieve files from a database without disclosing the requested file's identity to the server. In the pursuit of post-quantum security, most recent PIR schemes rely on hard…
We study Private Information Retrieval with Side Information (PIR-SI) in the single-server multi-message setting. In this setting, a user wants to download $D$ messages from a database of $K\geq D$ messages, stored on a single server,…
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…
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…
In information-theoretic private information retrieval (PIR), a client wants to retrieve one desired file out of $M$ files, stored across $N$ servers, while keeping the index of the desired file private from each $T$-sized subset of…
Private information retrieval has been reformulated in an information-theoretic perspective in recent years. The two most important parameters considered for a PIR scheme in a distributed storage system are the storage overhead and PIR…
We consider the storage-retrieval rate tradeoff in private information retrieval (PIR) systems using a Shannon-theoretic approach. Our focus is mostly on the canonical two-message two-database case, for which a coding scheme based on random…
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…
A Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme allows users to retrieve data from a database without disclosing to the server information about the identity of the data retrieved. A coded storage in a distributed storage system with colluding…
We study the symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR) problem under arbitrary collusion and eavesdropping patterns for replicated databases. We find its capacity, which is the same as the capacity of the original SPIR problem with the…
A 2-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR) scheme allows a user to retrieve the $i$th bit of an $n$-bit database replicated among two servers (which do not communicate) while not revealing any information about $i$ to either server. In…
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…
In recent years, the Multi-message Private Information Retrieval (MPIR) problem has received significant attention from the research community. In this problem, a user wants to privately retrieve $D$ messages out of $K$ messages whose…
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.…
