May 25, 2011 at 16:29 comment added M.S. @KotelKanim If $n$ is not decomposable into a product $pq$ of two primes, then RSA oracle will terminate (in polytime) with the answer NONE (or 'false' if you wish).
May 25, 2011 at 7:05 comment added KotelKanim I would very much want the question to be reopen but I don't want to argue about MO policy so I will just wait patiently. meanwhile, to clarify the question, what would the oracle return for an input which is not a pq number? will it return "false" or just run into an infinite loop? the question is whether you can use this oracle for detection of semi-primness as well as for factorization of semi-primes. (I have no idea what the answer is in neither of the cases...)

May 25, 2011 at 3:37 comment added François G. Dorais I closed your answer as 'no longer relevant.' The reason is that you didn't wait long enough before cross posting your question. Once you've waited a few days, flag your post for moderator attention and it will be reopened.
