Interesting article (with lecture video) about duplicating a key just by the sound it makes going into the lock!

Interesting yes, and most impractical in most real world circumstances. Still yet another instance of compute power making new things possible.

Very clever and new approach! It's unpractical and at best you get three candidate keys, but I like the concept.

Thanks for sharing

What, you guys don't already do that?

Seems to me that simply cutting the key so there are no peaks between the cuts would solve that problem. No clicks.
