Paper and invited session @ virtual CDC 2020

The paper indroduces a novel encrypted implementation of a model predictice controller (MPC). Roughly speaking, the proposed implementation builds on four observations. First, linear MPC leads to a piecewise affine (PWA) control law. Second, any PWA function can be decomposed into two convex PWA functions (as illustrated in the figure above). Third, each convex part can be expressed as the maximum of finitiely many affine segments. Fourth, twe two resulting maximizations can be securely evaluated using two-party computation.
