We consider an RSA variant with Modulus N = p2q. This variant is known as Prime Power RSA. In PKC 2004 May proved when decryption exponent d < N0.22, one can factor N in polynomial time. In this paper, we improve this bound upto N0.395. We provide detailed experimental results to justify our claim.
