finding someone who has the key and applying a rubber hose vigorously and
repeatedly to the soles of that luckless person's feet until the key is
discovered. Shorthand for any method of coercion: the originator of the
term drily noted that it &#8220;<span class="quote">can take a surprisingly short time and is
quite computationally inexpensive</span>&#8221; relative to other cryptanalysis
methods. Compare <a href="../S/social-engineering.html"><i class="glossterm">social engineering</i></a>,
