Summary: 
Recently, Kasahara and Murakami proposed new product-sum type public-key cryptosystems with the Chinese remainder theorem, Methods B-II and B-IV. They also proposed a new technique of selectable encryption key, which is referred to as 'Home Page Method (HP Method).' In this paper, first, we describe Methods B-II and B-IV. Second, we propose an effective attack for Method B-II and discuss the security of Methods B-II and B-IV. Third, applying the HP Method to Methods B-II and B-IV, we propose new product-sum type PKC with selectable encryption key. Moreover, we discuss the security of the proposed cryptosystems.
