In this paper we propose an efficient multivariate encryption scheme based on permutation polynomials over finite fields. We single out a commutative group ℒ(q, m) of permutation polynomials over the finite field Fqm. We construct a trapdoor function for the cryptosystem using polynomials in ℒ(2, m), where m =2k for some k ≥ 0. The complexity of encryption in our public key cryptosystem is O(m3) multiplications which is equivalent to other multivariate public key cryptosystems. For decryption only left cyclic shifts, permutation of bits and xor operations are used. It uses at most 5m2+3m – 4 left cyclic shifts, 5m2 +3m + 4 xor operations and 7 permutations on bits for decryption.
