Abstract
The authors concentrate their attention on a modification of public key cryptosystems (PKC) based on the knapsack problem. The modification concerns the generalization of the PKC invented by R. C. Merkle and M. E. Hellman (1978). In order to specify the considerations, some properties of idempotent elements in algebraic rings are recalled.
