Practical Key-recovery Attacks on Round-Reduced Ketje Jr, Xoodoo-AE and Xoodyak [PDF]
Conditional cube attack was proposed by Huang et al. at EUROCRYPT 2017 to attack Keccak keyed mode. Inspired by dynamic cube attack, they reduce the degree by appending key bit conditions on the initial value (IV). Recently, Li et al.

New Insights into Divide-and-Conquer Attacks on the Round-Reduced Keccak-MAC [PDF]
Keccak is the final winner of SHA-3 competition and it can be used as message authentic codes as well. The basic and balanced divide-and-conquer attacks on Keccak-MAC were proposed by Dinur et al. at Eurocrypt 2015.

Improved Conditional Cube Attacks on Ascon AEADs in Nonce-Respecting Settings -- with a Break-Fix Strategy [PDF]
The best-known distinguisher on 7-round Ascon-128 and Ascon-128a AEAD uses a 60-dimensional cube where the nonce bits are set to be equal in the third and fourth rows of the Ascon state during initialization (Rohit et al. ToSC 2021/1).
