Abstract :
Through the use of F-metrics, a McEliece type public-key cryptosystem based around generalised Reed Solomon codes is constructed and implemented. Using such metrics increases the complexity of the system making it harder to attack allowing for smaller key-sizes. Attacks on such a system are also investigated
