Abstract:
There are millions of pin tumbler locks in the world that provide the
primary security for the consumer, business and government. The vast
majority of these can be compromised in seconds with a minimal skill level
and virtually no tools. The procedure is called "bumping" and was first
developed in Denmark a quarter century ago, although the underlying theory
of physics was in fact presented by Sir Isaac Newton over three centuries
ago. Marc Weber Tobias presents an introduction to the technique of bumping
and a detailed analysis of its real security threat.
