\n Criminals could break into your house by simply recording the sound your key makes and using that to create a replica.<\/p>\n

This is according to a researchers who have been studying \u201cacoustics-based physical key inference.\u201d<\/p>\n

They focused their study on pin tumbler locks, a common type of lock, that make familiar click sounds when you push a key into them.<\/p>\n

Recording this sound, slowing it down and analysing it is app<\/a>arently enough to work out what shape a key needs to be to open the lock.<\/p>\n

Doing something like this would require a lot of time and equipment so criminals would actually be better off trying to physically pick a lock.<\/p>\n

However, the research does highlight an unusual security loophole.<\/p>\n

When you put a key in a pin tumbler lock, it reaches a \u201cbiting point\u201d where it hits a series<\/a> of pins at varying degrees.<\/p>\n

Once this point is reached that\u2019s when the lock can turn and creates clicking sounds.<\/p>\n

The research team mapped different types of these lock clicking sounds and made a proof-of-concept simulation software system that could determine the shape of the key being used.<\/p>\n

Timings of the clicks can reveal the possible distances of biting points and an algorithm can be used to create all the possible key designs.<\/p>\n

The team have called their system SpiKey.<\/p>\n

It usually suggests around three key shapes that could be tried.<\/p>\n

Complicated maths is involved but of the 586,584 key combinations for a 6-pin lock, over half would be vulnerable to SpiKey.<\/p>\n

Limitations include the fact a hacker would need to stand near the person unlocking the door to record the sound or go to the effort of hacking into their phone microphone.<\/p>\n

Keys must also be inserted slowly for the audio recording to be useful and not everyone will have a pin tumbler lock.<\/p>\n

The researchers concluded in their paper: \u201cSpiKey inherently provides many advantages over lock-picking attacks, including lowering attacker effort to enable a layperson to launch an attack without raising suspicion.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
