I'm actually not sure of that. I think that an organized
case-by-case study of "social engineering" breaches would
be valuable reading material for security consultants, HR
staff, employers, designers, and psychologists. It's not
actually the study of cryptography, but it's a topic near
and dear to the heart of those who need security, just as
Matt's paper on locks.
