In Crypto 1996, the Hidden Number Problem was introduced by Boneh and Venkatesan. Howgrave-Graham, Nguyen and Shparlinski (Mathematics of Computation 2003) generalized this problem and called it Hidden Number Problem with Hidden Multiplier (HNPHM). It has application in security analysis of timed-release crypto. They proposed a polynomial time algorithm to solve HNPHM. They showed that one can solve it if absolute error is less than $m^{0.20}$ for some positive integer $m$. They improved this bound up to $m^{0.25}$ heuristically. It was also proved that one can not solve HNPHM if error is larger than $m^{0.5}$. In this paper, we show that one can solve HNPHM in polynomial time heuristically if error is bounded by $m^{0.5}$.

Keywords: Hidden Number Problem with Hidden Multiplier, lattice, LLL algorithm, sequence.
