Rubber-hose cryptanalysis

Rubber -hose cryptanalysis (translated rubber hose cryptanalysis ) is a euphemism with which the use of torture with the intention to bring a person to submit a password or decryption key is known. Although the term itself originally derived from a torture method in which someone is beaten with a rubber hose repeatedly on the soles, he is here to represent all possible types of torture methods.

The origin of this expression can be found on Usenet. The original English definition reads:

" [Meaning: in rubber -hose cryptanalysis ] In Which a rubber hose is Applied forcefully and frequently to the soles of the feet until the key to the crypto system is Discovered, a processthat can take a surprisingly short time and is quite computationally inexpensive. "

" During [meaning: rubber hose cryptanalysis ] a rubber hose is applied vigorously and frequently to the soles of the feet until the key of the cryptosystem is discovered, a process which surprisingly can take a little time and very little computational effort required. "

This term is often used to show that in addition to cracking the encryption key, which is usually very expensive, even methods such as torture, extortion, social engineering, and the like are available to come to encrypted secrets. He was eponymous for a 1997 developed encryption software Rubber Hose, with the concept of plausible deniability should be implemented.
