lens 200 feet away. Using those photos, they created a working key 80 percent on their first try. Within three attempts they opened every lock.
Three processing, mat lab, and image transformation could do it in two days if they are good."
Keys, as the researchers demonstrated, are actually fairly easy to decode. A majority of keys marketed to consumers are basically just four to six different numbers. Each number corresponds to a ridge or valley in the key. When inserted into a lock, the ridges and valleys lines up a series of small pins that lets the lock turn.attempts could take less than five minutes. The replication process is very easy. Once the researchers have the image it takes the 30 seconds to decode the ridges and grooves on the key. If the angle is off or the lighting is tricky it takes the computr take a little longer.The longest part of the process, about one whole minute, is cutting the key."I think that this work would be really easy for someone else to reproduce," said Savage of his work.
