The Capacity of Private Information Retrieval with Partially Known Private Side Information [article]

Yi-Peng Wei and Karim Banawan and Sennur Ulukus
2017 arXiv   pre-print
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) of a single message out of K messages from N replicated and non-colluding databases where a cache-enabled user (retriever) of cache-size M  ...  In the retrieval phase, the user wishes to retrieve a message such that no individual database learns anything about the identity of the desired message.  ...  The efficiency of a PIR scheme is measured by the normalized download cost, which is the cost of privately downloading one bit of the desired message.  ...

Private Set Intersection: A Multi-Message Symmetric Private Information Retrieval Perspective [article]

The Asymptotic Capacity of Private Search [article]

Zhen Chen, Zhiying Wang, Syed Jafar
2018 arXiv   pre-print
The results are based on the asymptotic behavior of a new converse bound for private information retrieval with arbitrarily dependent messages.  ...  The capacity of private search is the maximum number of bits of desired information that can be retrieved per bit of download.  ...  Since the upload cost of private search does not depend on L while the download cost scales linearly with L, the communication cost of private search for large L is dominated by the download cost.  ...
