Summary: 
In this paper, we present a new class of public-key cryptosystem (PKC) using algebraic coding on the basis of superimposition and randomness. The proposed PKC is featured by a generator matrix, in a characteristic form, where the generator matrix of an algebraic code is repeatedly used along with the generator matrix of a random code, as sub-matrices. This generator matrix, in the characteristic form, will be referred to as K-matrix. We show that the K-matrix yields the following advantages compared with the conventional schemes: (i) It realizes an abundant supply of PKCs, yielding more secure PKCs, (ii) It realizes a short public key.
