Title:
Factoring N=p^r q^s for Large r and s

Authors: Jean-Sebastien Coron, Jean-Charles Faugere, Guenael Renault, Rina Zeitoun

Abstract:

Boneh et al. showed at Crypto 99 that moduli of the form N=p^r q can be factored in polynomial time when r=log p. Their algorithm is based on Coppersmith’s technique for finding small roots of polynomial equations. In this paper we show that N=p^r q^s can also be factored in polynomial time when r or s is at least (log p)^3; therefore we identify a new class of integers that can be efficiently factored. We also generalize our algorithm to moduli N with k prime factors; we show that a non-trivial factor of N can be extracted in polynomial-time if one of the k exponents is large enough.
