This paper proposes two kinds of algorithms to achieve privacy-preserving consensus of multi-agent systems over undirected graphs via node decomposition mechanism and homomorphic cryptography technique. Based on the number of neighboring nodes ( $|\mathscr {N}_{i}|$ ), every agent is decomposed into $|\mathscr {N}_{i}|$ subagents, which are connected as a chain graph. Note that every subagent connects one and only one non-homologous subagent (generated by different agents). Information interaction between non-homologous subagents is encrypted by a homomorphic cryptography algorithm, and homologous subagents exchange information directly. In this regard, the proposed node decomposition mechanism enhances the privacy of the initial values without increasing the computational complexity of encryption. The first privacy-preserving algorithm can achieve the accurate average consensus, which means that the agreement value of every subagent is consistent with the original average consensus value. The second algorithm studies the privacy-preserving scaled consensus problem without a priori knowledge about the underlying graph. Although the final convergence values of subagents do not keep exactly the same, homologous subagents can compute the original group decision value by resorting to the product of the limit value and agent’s degree. Importantly, this algorithm also guarantees the privacy of group decision value of the whole system. Besides, it is proved that the privacy of the initial value can be preserved if the agent has at least one neutral neighbor.
