Abstract
In this paper we give a polynomial time algorithm to compute for an RSA module using as input the order modulo of a randomly chosen integer. This provides a new insight in the very important problem of factoring an RSA module with extra information. In fact, the algorithm is extremely simple and consists only on a computation of a greatest common divisor, two multiplications and a division. The algorithm works with a probability of at least , where is any small positive constant.
