Algebraic attack
Algebraic attack is a method of algebraic cryptanalysis by which a set of algebraic equations can be used to solve a cryptographic Boolean function that has a low degree or a high degree of non linearity. The main objective is to reduce the non linearity of the equations and then solve the cipher to decrypt into plaintext. It has been used for vulnerability testing for encryption algorithms as well as hacking systems for malicious intent.
