Actually it should be "rubber-hose cryptanalysis" from http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/rubber-hose-cryptanalysis.html: The technique of breaking a code or cipher by 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 ?can take a surprisingly short time and is quite computationally inexpensive? relative to other cryptanalysis methods. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBETu3hctESbvQ8ZwRAlYhAJ93BIfEAV6zHnYySqF3N82hv5tHrgCdGRCJ rPYUP2kmQ+dlazHN84Ma9SU= =SdpP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
