We present a code-based public-key cryptosystem, in which we use Reed-Solomon codes over an extension field as secret codes and disguise it by considering its shortened expanded code over the base field. Considering shortened expanded codes provides a safeguard against distinguisher attacks based on the Schur product. Moreover, without using a cyclic or a quasi-cyclic structure we obtain a key size reduction of nearly $ 45 \% $ compared to the classic {McE}liece cryptosystem proposed by Bernstein et al.

Keywords: Code-based cryptography, McEliece cryptosystem, Reed-Solomon codes, expanded codes, shortened codes.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 14G50, 94A60, 11T71.
