… We call such a scheme random-index PIR (RPIR). While clearly a weaker variant of PIR, we
… the client choose i at random and then run a PIR protocol. But being a weaker variant, we …

… Scanning the room using a PIR sensor also allows for an expanded field of view (FoV) and
… approaches using a PIR sensor. Finally, MIPIR expands the functionalities of PIR sensors by …

… on ceiling-mounted PIR sensors, this paper provided a distributed indoor tracking framework
for PIR sensor networks, extracting key features from the PIR signals for obtaining reliable …

This paper presents OnionPIR and stateful OnionPIR, two single-server PIR schemes that
significantly improve the response size and computation cost over state-of-the-art schemes. …

… We note that the abbreviation PIR is sometimes used to denote a passive infrared sensor.
In this paper, we use the abbreviation PIR to denote a pyroelectric infrared sensor. The PIR …

Recent private information retrieval (PIR) schemes preprocess the database with a query-independent
offline phase in order to achieve sublinear computation during a query-specific …

Recent years have seen an exponential growth in energy utilization to improve our lifestyle.
This growth affects the demand and supply of energy and may lead to it’s scarcity in future. In …

… Moreover, we show how constant-weight PIR can be extended to keyword PIR. In keyword
PIR… This work proposes a PIR protocol for index PIR which can be easily extended to keyword …

… cannot be estimated accurately from the output of PIR sensors. By analyzing the physical
property of PIR sensors, we find that using the PIR sensor’s input inferred from the obtained …

RNA modifications have recently emerged as a widespread and complex facet of gene
expression regulation. Counting more than 170 distinct chemical modifications with far-reaching …
