Abstract

This study proposes post-quantum encrypted control systems based on dynamic-key Learning with Errors (LWE) encryption schemes. The proposed method develops update maps that simultaneously update the private key and ciphertexts within the LWE framework, enabling dynamic-key encrypted control resistant to system identification attacks. The growth of errors induced by homomorphic operations is analyzed, and sufficient parameter conditions guaranteeing correct decryption at each control step are clarified. Furthermore, a design procedure for the encrypted control systems is presented based on security metrics such as sample-identifying complexity and deciphering time. A numerical example demonstrates that the proposed control systems achieve secure control against the considered system identification attack.
