Summary: 
Recently, Kasahara and Murakami proposed new product-sum public-key cryptosystems using the Chinese remainder theorem as the trapdoor. We proposed 'Yaezakura' as the high-density product-sum PKC applying the method using the reduced bases. In this paper, we propose another high-density scheme with the Chinese remainder theorem trapdoor using the message extension. We also show that the proposed scheme is invulnerable to the low-density attack. In the proposed scheme, the sender can freely select the positions of the dummy messages.
