Modular square roots problem which is $NP$ hard
It is well known extracting modular square roots modulo a composite number factors the modulus.
On other hand given $u,v>0$ and an integer $n$, deciding if there is a factor of $n$ in $[u,v]$ is $...

Is this factorization problem in EXP?
Factorization is not known to have a polynomial time algorithm. Traditionally the input length is number of bits in representation of the integer to be factored.
However now consider integers of form $...
