    We address the factorization problem in this paper: Given an integer N = pq , find two factors p and q of N such that p and q are of same bit-size. When we say integer multiplication of N , we mean expressing N as a product of two factors p and q such that p and q are of same bit-size . We work on this problem in the light of Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD). A Binary Decision Diagram is an acyclic graph which can be used to represent Boolean functions. We represent integer multiplication of N as product of factors p and q using a BDD. Using various operations on the BDD we present an algorithm for factoring N . All calculations are done over GF ( 2 ) . We show that the number of nodes in the constructed BDD is O ( n 3 ) where n is the number of bits in p or q . We do factoring experiments for the case when p and q are primes as in the case of RSA modulus N , and report on the observed complexity. The multiplication of large RSA numbers (that cannot be factored fast in practice) can still be easily represented as a BDD.
