In this paper, we present new classes of public key cryptosystem over $F_2^8$ based on Reed-Solomon codes, referred to as K(XVII)SE(1)PKC
and K(XVII)$\\Sigma \\Pi$PKC, a subclass of K(XVII)SE(1)PKC.
We show that K(XVII)SE(1)PKC over $F_2^8$ can be secure against the various attacks.
We also present K(XVII)$\\Sigma \\Pi$PKC over $F_2^8$, a subclass of K(XVII)SE(1)PKC.
We show that any assertion of successfull attack on K(XVII)SE(1)PKC including K(XVII)$\\Sigma \\Pi$PKC whose parameters are properly chosen
is a coding theoretical contradiction.
We thus conclude that K(XVII)SE(1)PKC and K(XVII)$\\Sigma \\Pi$PKC would be secure against the various attacks including LLL attack.
The schemes presented in this paper would yield brand-new techniques in the field of code-based PKC.
