📝 摘要（中文）
加密控制允许云端协调一组智能体，保护其位置和指令的隐私。然而，现有的CKKS方案在解密时会泄露加密噪声，导致密钥恢复风险。本文提出了一种两阶段的游戏模型，针对持续威胁下的控制循环安全性进行分析。通过被动侦察和主动操控的阶段划分，提出重密钥作为主动防御手段，解决了现有方法的不足。研究表明，图拓扑的脆弱性影响重密钥的频率，确保在精度和安全性之间找到平衡。
🔬 方法详解
问题定义：本文旨在解决加密控制中存在的密钥恢复泄露问题，现有CKKS方案在解密时不可避免地暴露加密噪声，导致安全性不足。
核心思路：论文提出了一种两阶段的游戏模型，首先进行被动侦察，然后是主动操控，通过重密钥来重置累积的泄露，增强系统的安全性。
技术框架：整体架构包括被动侦察阶段和主动操控阶段，使用残余检测器来识别操控行为，确保防御者能够及时重密钥。
关键创新：最重要的创新点在于将重密钥作为主动防御手段，而非传统的引导重加密，显著提高了系统的安全性和响应能力。
关键设计：设计中考虑了图拓扑的脆弱性，重密钥的频率与图的连接性相关，确保在精度与安全性之间找到最佳平衡。具体参数设置和损失函数的选择也经过精心设计，以优化系统性能。

📄 摘要（原文）
Encrypted control lets a cloud coordinate a fleet of agents on fully homomorphically encrypted state, keeping their positions and commands private. The approximate scheme for real-valued control, CKKS, returns decryptions that carry the encryption noise, a key-recovery leak; the loop must decrypt to actuate, so the leak is unavoidable. Yet the security of approximate FHE is studied statically, encrypted control assumes an honest-but-curious cloud, and persistent-threat games never reach inside the cryptosystem. We model the loop's security under an advanced persistent threat as a two-phase game, passive reconnaissance then active manipulation, separated by a measured residual detector that sees only the manipulation. The passive phase reduces to the known flooding tradeoff; the active defense is re-keying, not bootstrapping, since only re-keying resets accumulated leakage. The active phase is a detection-evasion timing game: overt manipulation is caught, so the rational adversary stays stealthy, and at its Stackelberg equilibrium the defender re-keys on the laziest cadence that denies it, set by the control-theoretic fragility of the graph topology. The marginally-stable graph must re-key far more often than the well-connected one. A three-way tension among FHE precision, control accuracy, and re-key cadence sets where this game lives, between a securability floor and a static-suffices ceiling. The efficient secure point is that window, where re-keying is the price of precision efficiency. More broadly, security for an approximate cryptosystem in a feedback loop is a dynamic game whose defender's move is the scheme's own refresh, applying beyond control to any system that must repeatedly decrypt to act.
