Mathematical Attack: A method used to decipher encrypted data by exploiting weaknesses in the mathematical algorithms used in the encryption process. This method relies on computational techniques and mathematical theories, such as factoring large numbers or calculating discrete logarithms, to reverse-engineer or break the encryption algorithm and gain access to the encrypted data.
