Safecracking

Schneier on Security: Safecracking:

Matt Blaze has written an excellent paper: ‘Safecracking for the computer scientist.’

It has completely pissed off the locksmithing community.

There is a reasonable debate to be had about secrecy versus full disclosure, but a lot of these comments are just mean. Blaze is not being dishonest. His results are not trivial. I believe that the physical security community has a lot to learn from the computer security community, and that the computer security community has a lot to learn from the physical security community. Blaze’s work in physical security has important lessons for computer security — and, as it turns out, physical security — notwithstanding these people’s attempt to trivialize it in their efforts to attack him.
