This paper is about an encryption based approach to the secure implementation of feedback controllers for physical systems. Specifically, Paillier's homomorphic encryption is used in a custom digital implementation of a class of linear dynamic controllers, including static gain as a special case. The implementation is amenable to Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) realization. Experimental results, including timing analysis and resource usage characteristics for different encryption key lengths, are presented for the realization of a controller for an inverted pendulum; as this is an unstable plant, the control is necessarily fast.
