Mathematical Attack of RSA by Extending the Sum of Squares of Primes to Factorize a Semi-Prime

The security of RSA relies on the computationally challenging factorization of RSA modulus with being a large semi-prime consisting of two primes for the generation of RSA keys in commonly adopted cryptosystems. The property of both congruent to 1 mod 4, is used in Euler’s factorization method to th...
