Beginner to Advanced
The Ancient Egyptians were the first to come up with a complicated security device.
This was the pin tumbler lock.
We use the same security principle today on millions of applications. The most commonly used lock today is the pin tumbler lock. A series of pins that are divided at certain points must be raised to these dividing points in relationship to the separation between the cylinder wall and the shell of the lock by a key cut for that particular series of pin divisions. Thus the cylinder can be turned, and the mechanism or lock is unlocked.

Tips for Success
Bumping locks 
In this paper we describe an underestimated lock-opening technique by which a large variety of mechanical locks can be opened quickly and without damage by a relatively untrained attacker.
Among other things we examine how this works, why it works better on some locks than on others, whether one could detect that this technique was used against a lock and what the lock-industry could do to protect new locks against this technique.
Understanding the threat of this new method of manipulating locks is added importance because we have found that this method actually works better on
the more expensive mechanical locks generally considered
to be most resistant to manipulation.
Safe Locks Safecracking for the
Computer Scientist
This paper is a general survey of safe and vault security from a
computer science perspective, with emphasis on the metrics used to
evaluate these systems and the weaknesses that cause them to fail.
We examine security against forced, covert and surreptitious
safe opening, focusing on the mechanical combination locks most
commonly used
on commercial safes in the
Our analysis contrasts the philosophy and tools of physical security
with those of information security, especially where
techniques might be
profitably applied across these disciplines.
Cryptology and Physical Security
This paper examines mechanical lock security from the perspective of
computer science and cryptology.
We focus on new and practical attacks for amplifying rights in mechanical pin tumbler locks.
Given access to a single master-keyed lock and its associated key,
a procedure is given that allows discovery and creation of a working master key for the system.
No special skill or equipment, beyond a small number of blank keys and a metal file, is required and the attacker need engage in no suspicious behavior at the lock's location.
Countermeasures are also described that may provide limited protection under certain circumstances. We conclude with directions for research in this area
and the suggestion that mechanical locks are worthy objects for study and scrutiny.
