Sneakey software key to unlocking your secrets
Sydney Morning Herald, Australia
But we should be concerned because advances in digital imagingand optics meant any photograph of a key posed a potential securitythreat, Stefan Savage, a computer science professor at theUniversity of California, warns. Professor Savage and two of his PhD students have developed asoftware program called Sneakey that can clone a key in “two tothree minutes” after analysing a digital photograph. The algorithm is so sophisticated it easily copes with thelow-resolution mobile phone images routinely posted on socialnetworking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. “The software looks at the key, adjusts the image for anyrotations or distortions, then produces a string of numbers that isappropriate for that key,” Professor Savage said. “Those numbers are fed into a key-cutting machine and it makes aperfect copy. Professor Savage, 39, said his team at the University’s JacobsSchool of Engineering in San Diego found “thousands” of images ofkeys inadvertently posted on the photo-sharing site Flickr.
