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.

Protecting the parameters, states, and input/output signals of a dynamic controller is essential for securely outsourcing its computation to an untrusted third party. Although a fully homomorphic encryption scheme allows the evaluation of controller operations with encrypted data, an encrypted dynamic controller with the encryption scheme destabilizes a closed-loop system or degrades the control performance due to overflow. This paper presents a novel controller representation based on input-output history data to implement an encrypted dynamic controller that operates without destabilization and performance degradation. Implementation of this encrypted dynamic controller representation can be optimized via batching techniques to reduce the time and space complexities. Furthermore, this study analyzes the stability and performance degradation of a closed-loop system caused by the effects of controller encryption. A numerical simulation demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed encrypted control scheme, which inherits the control performance of the original controller at a sufficient level.

This study proposes a detailed nonlinear mathematical model of an antagonistic pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuator system for estimating the joint angle and torque using an unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The proposed model is described in a hybrid state-space representation. It includes the contraction force of the PAM, joint dynamics, fluid dynamics of compressed air, mass flows of a valve, and friction models. A part of the friction models is modified to obtain a novel form of Coulomb friction depending on the inner pressure of the PAM. For model validation, offline and online UKF estimations and sensor-less tracking control of the joint angle and torque are conducted to evaluate the estimation accuracy and tracking control performance. The estimation accuracy is less than 7.91 %, and the steady-state tracking control performance is more than 94.75 %. These results confirm that the proposed model is detailed and could be used as the state estimator of an antagonistic PAM system.
