**6. Conclusions**

We presented a new public-key cryptosystem based on error-correcting codes in this study. This system refers to the class of cryptosystems based on the bounded distance decoding task. The sizes of the plaintext and ciphertext of the system are calculated. Therefore, the transmission rate is given. The possible attacks are considered. It is determined that the new system stands well when compared with known systems.
