A cube attack is a cryptographic attack primarily used against symmetric key ciphers, specifically those that use block ciphers. It was introduced by researchers to exploit certain properties of the S-boxes (substitution boxes) used in cryptographic algorithms. \#\#\# Key Concepts of Cube Attack: 1. **Cube Polynomial Representations**: - Every function, including cryptographic functions, can be expressed as a polynomial over a finite field.
