Prime factorization of very large integer with quadratic residue and its square roots












0












$begingroup$


We have a very large modulus integer $n$ and we have very large number $y$. We know that $y$ is a quadratic residue modulo $n$. Also we know all $4$ square roots of $y$.




What is the best way of prime factorization of $n$ ?

          If $a^2equiv b^2pmod N$, but $anotequiv bpmod N$, then $g=gcd(a-b,N)$
          is a factor of $N$ with $1<g<N$.
