"Box level" is apparently referring to types of cryptography, "S-boxes are non-linear transformations of a few input bits that provide confusion and P-boxes simply shuffle the input bits around to provide diffusion"[1] The basic function of S-Box[2] is to transform 8 bits input data into 8 bits of secret data using a precomputed look-up-table (LUT). A "permutation box (or P-box) is a method of bit-shuffling used to permute or transpose bits across S-boxes inputs, retaining diffusion while transposing."[3]

Encryption of boxes, not encryption with boxes. (the existence of AES sboxes is coincidental, and is not what was being discussed)
