[Polynomial Rsa](http://www.diva-portal.se/smash/get/diva2:823505/FULLTEXT01.pdf). This article explains polynomial RSA quite good. I referred to this article and ended up with the following solution:
First of all, we need phi for n. For this, I factored n and calculated phi using the formula phi = Π(p^deg[i]-1) as mentioned in the article. This relevant code is:
```
n = factors[0][0].degree()
m = factors[1][0].degree()
phi = (pow(P, n)-1)*(pow(P, m)-1) #n has only two factors
```
Then d can be calculated using the basic rsa problem i.e.
```
d = inverse_mod(e, phi)
```
Then the problem reduced to a basic rsa problem. I set the quotient for the finite field as n and calculated (encrypted_polynomial)^(d) which turns out to be
```
125*a^23 + 110*a^22 + 52*a^21 + 109*a^20 + 95*a^19 + 110*a^18 + 48*a^17 + 114*a^16 + 105*a^15 + 95*a^14 + 109*a^13 + 52*a^12 + 95*a^11 + 105*a^10 + 95*a^9 + 100*a^8 + 110*a^7 + 97*a^6 + 123*a^5 + 102*a^4 + 116*a^3 + 99*a^2 + 110*a + 105
```
The coefficients clearly represent ascii values of the flag characters which can be decoded to the flag ```inctf{and_i_4m_ir0n_m4n}```
The whole solution is:
