Torture might stand too great a chance of destroying the encryption key. Though I suppose if nanotech were sufficiently difficult to obtain, the possible key-destructive effects of torture might be balanced against the probability of a car running over the keyholder in the meantime.
I would think that confusion (set things up so the key-keeper is confused and distracted, then do some phishing) is in the same reliability range as torture, and less likely to get the AI in trouble.
