Thanks BTW if you haven't seen that yet - I published two other lock papers (on unrelated but highly interesting lock designs) at http://toool.nl/ - look at the bottom of the page: "Other publications" And while you are there, Han Fey's papers are also linked there.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures. However, I have one question. The key has a 2x4 magnet is something between them? I never found the key cut. Thank you very much.

The original EVVA magnets are 4 cylindrical pieces with different magnetization on each of the 2 sides.

So it is surprising for me. In that case, how is it possible that the magnetic field non-interact.

Hi MH, Here a photo from an Ikon production tool, to read out the coding of the rotors, which are used in the plug. This is a rotor from a GMK system, with gates on 2-5-7. https://imgur.com/a/aVvf6rw

Thanks Han! The Stasi made a tool for this as well, which would display multiple magnet rotations (of an inserted key). P.S.: I found a nice presentation by Cocolitos about these locks here: https://lockanalyst.org/index.php/2020/ ... -system-m/"The techs discovered that German locks were particularly difficult" - Robert Wallace, H.
