| A meet-in-the-middle attack targets block [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cipher|cipher]] cryptographic functions. The intruder applies brute-force techniques to both the plaintext, which is ordinary text before it is encrypted, and the ciphertext, or encrypted text that has been transformed from plaintext, of a block cipher. | A meet-in-the-middle attack targets block [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cipher|cipher]] cryptographic functions.
