Dynamic-Key Post-Quantum Encrypted Control Against System Identification Attacks
For control systems vulnerable to system identification attacks, this work provides a post-quantum secure encrypted control method, though it is an incremental extension of existing LWE-based encrypted control.
This paper proposes a dynamic-key LWE-based encrypted control system that resists system identification attacks by updating both the private key and ciphertexts at each step, with parameter conditions ensuring correct decryption. A numerical example shows secure control against the attack.
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.
