Abstract

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) has made it possible to perform addition and multiplication operations on encrypted data. Using FHE in control thus has the advantage that control effort for a plant can be calculated remotely without ever decrypting the exchanged information. FHE in its current form is however not practically applicable for real-time control as its computational load is very high compared to traditional encryption methods. In this paper a reformulation of the Gentry FHE scheme is proposed and applied on an FPGA to solve this problem. It is shown that the resulting FHE scheme can be implemented for real-time stabilization of an inverted double pendulum using discrete time control.
