On an Equivalence Between Single-Server PIR with Side Information and Locally Recoverable Codes
Swanand Kadhe, Anoosheh Heidarzadeh, Alex Sprintson +1
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) problem has recently attracted a significant interest in the information-theory community. In this problem, a user wants to privately download o…
SeF: A Secure Fountain Architecture for Slashing Storage Costs in Blockchains
Swanand Kadhe, Jichan Chung, Kannan Ramchandran
Full nodes, which synchronize the entire blockchain history and independently validate all the blocks, form the backbone of any blockchain network by playing a vital role in ensuri…
Gradient Coding Based on Block Designs for Mitigating Adversarial Stragglers
Swanand Kadhe, O. Ozan Koyluoglu, Kannan Ramchandran
Distributed implementations of gradient-based methods, wherein a server distributes gradient computations across worker machines, suffer from slow running machines, called 'straggl…
Universally Weakly Secure Coset Coding Schemes for Minimum Storage Regenerating (MSR) Codes
Swanand Kadhe, Alex Sprintson
We consider the problem of designing codes for distributed storage that protect user data against eavesdroppers that can gain access to network links as well as individual nodes. O…
On the Service Capacity Region of Accessing Erasure Coded Content
Mehmet Aktas, Sarah E. Anderson, Ann Johnston +5
Cloud storage systems generally add redundancy in storing content files such that files are replicated or erasure coded and stored on nodes. In addition to providing re…
Private Information Retrieval with Side Information
Swanand Kadhe, Brenden Garcia, Anoosheh Heidarzadeh +2
We study the problem of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in the presence of prior side information. The problem setup includes a database of independent messages possibly re…
