Coded caching is an efficient way to reduce network traffic congestion during peak hours by storing some content at the users local cache memory without knowledge of later demands. The goal of coded caching design is to minimize the transmission rate and the subpacketization. In practice the demand for each user is sensitive since one can get the other users preferences when it gets the other users demands. The first coded caching scheme with private demands was proposed by Wan et al. However the transmission rate and the subpacketization of their scheme increase with the file number stored in the library. In this paper we consider the following secure coded caching: prevent the wiretappers from obtaining any information about the files in the server and protect the demands from all the users in the delivery phase. We firstly introduce a combinatorial structure called secure placement delivery array (SPDA in short) to realize a coded caching scheme for our security setting. Then we obtain three classes of secure schemes by constructing SPDAs, where one of them is optimal. It is worth noting that the transmission rates and the subpacketizations of our schemes are independent to the file number. Furthermore, comparing with the previously known schemes with the same security setting, our schemes have significantly advantages on the subpacketizations and for some parameters have the advantage on the transmission rates.

This paper studies device to device (D2D) coded-caching with information theoretic security guarantees. A broadcast network consisting of a server, which has a library of files, and end users equipped with cache memories, is considered. Information t heoretic security guarantees for confidentiality are imposed upon the files. The server populates the end user caches, after which D2D communications enable the delivery of the requested files. Accordingly, we require that a user must not have access to files it did not request, i.e., secure caching. First, a centralized coded caching scheme is provided by jointly optimizing the cache placement and delivery policies. Next, a decentralized coded caching scheme is developed that does not require the knowledge of the number of active users during the caching phase. Both schemes utilize non-perfect secret sharing and one-time pad keying, to guarantee secure caching. Furthermore, the proposed schemes provide secure delivery as a side benefit, i.e., any external entity which overhears the transmitted signals during the delivery phase cannot obtain any information about the database files. The proposed schemes provide the achievable upper bound on the minimum delivery sum rate. Lower bounds on the required transmission sum rate are also derived using cut-set arguments indicating the multiplicative gap between the lower and upper bounds. Numerical results indicate that the gap vanishes with increasing memory size. Overall, the work demonstrates the effectiveness of D2D communications in cache-aided systems even when confidentiality constraints are imposed at the participating nodes and against external eavesdroppers.
The multi-access variant of the coded caching problem in the presence of an external wiretapper is investigated . A multi-access coded caching scheme with $K$ users, $K$ caches and $N$ files, where each user has access to $L$ neighbouring caches in a cyclic wrap-around manner, is proposed, which is secure against the wiretappers. Each transmission in the conventional insecure scheme will be now encrypted by a random key. The proposed scheme uses a novel technique for the key placement in the caches. It is also shown that the proposed secure multi-access coded caching scheme is within a constant multiplicative factor from the information-theoretic optimal rate for $Lgeq frac{K}{2}$ and $Ngeq 2K$.
The coded caching problem with secrecy constraint i.e., the users should not be able to gain any information about the content of the files that they did not demand, is known as the secretive coded caching problem. This was proposed by Ravindrakumar et al. in the paper titled ``Private Coded Caching that appeared in emph{ IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security}, 2018 and is characterised by subpacketization levels growing exponentially with the number of users. In the context of coded caching without secrecy, coded caching schemes at subexponential subpacketization levels are feasible by representing the caching system in the form of a Placement Delivery Array (PDA) and designing placement and delivery policies from it. Motivated by this, we propose a secretive coded caching scheme with low subpacketization using PDA, for users with dedicated caches in the centralized setting. When our scheme is applied to a special class of PDA known as MN PDA, the scheme proposed by Ravindrakumar et al. is recovered.
Caching prefetches some library content at users memories during the off-peak times (i.e., {it placement phase}), such that the number of transmissions during the peak-traffic times (i.e., {it delivery phase}) are reduced. A coded caching strategy wa s originally proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MN) leading to a multicasting gain compared to the conventional uncoded caching, where each message in the delivery phase is useful to multiple users simultaneously. However, the MN coded caching scheme suffers from the high subpacketization which makes it impractical. In order to reduce the subpacketization while retain the multicast opportunities in the delivery phase, Yan et al. proposed a combinatorial structure called placement delivery array (PDA) to design coded caching schemes. In this paper, we propose two novel frameworks for constructing PDA via Cartesian product, which constructs a PDA for $mK_1$ users by the $m$-fold Cartesian product of a PDA for $K_1$ users. By applying the proposed frameworks to some existing PDAs, three novel caching schemes are obtained which can significantly reduce the subpacketization of the MN scheme while slightly increasing the needed number of transmissions. For instance, for the third scheme which works for any number of users and any memory regime, while reducing the coded caching gain by one, the needed subpacketization is at most $Oleft(sqrt{frac{K}{q}}2^{-frac{K}{q}}right)$ of that of the MN scheme, where $K$ is the number of users, $0<z/q<1$ is the memory ratio of each user, and $q,z$ are coprime.
In this paper, we consider the coded-caching broadcast network with user cooperation, where a server connects with multiple users and the users can cooperate with each other through a cooperation network. We propose a centralized coded caching scheme based on a new deterministic placement strategy and a parallel delivery strategy. It is shown that the new scheme optimally allocate the communication loads on the server and users, obtaining cooperation gain and parallel gain that greatly reduces the transmission delay. Furthermore, we show that the number of users who parallelly send information should decrease when the users caching size increases. In other words, letting more users parallelly send information could be harmful. Finally, we derive a constant multiplicative gap between the lower bound and upper bound on the transmission delay, which proves that our scheme is order optimal.
