“….that can duplicate a key with physically owning one…”

I believe you meant to write without owning one.

Anyway, I’m not surprised that this can be done- most keys come in standard sizes and varieties… the problem would be figuring out what the key went to… unless you followed someone around using security cameras… but odds are if you have access to the security cameras in a building, you can probably get in to any door in that building that you want to anyway.

Prof. Savage sounds like a villain’s name in DC Comics.

Jokes apart, I see the project as an example of how far computer visualization has advanced.

Coming to its purpose, it is very common for security experts to innovate ways of breaking keys and systems. The breaking might need very sophisticated means, but if it is possible, they have a better idea of where to work on.

I think the project was meant to show that teleduplication is possible, to warn people not to be so open with their keys.

Who is really in the need for technology like this? Seriously bad things could come from this.
