Algebraic attack: A type of cryptanalysis that attacks cryptographic algorithms by describing their operations as systems of algebraic equations. Solving these equations can potentially reveal the secret keys used. Algebraic attacks are particularly relevant for certain types of encryption algorithms, and understanding these attacks is important for designing robust cryptographic systems.
