Description:
This is the video of the talk titled "
A Brief History of Locks" given at
Phreaknic 13.In the beginning... people secured their valuables with rope and intricate knots later evolving to biometric and high security locks. We will cover the inner working of some of the most well know locks (and not so well known), their flaws and why that technology was replaced or in some cases still used today. As well as what locks have meant to people through history and and how the perception of security has greatly changed or changed very little depending on your perception.
Joseph Walton (Ulysses) at 15 bought my first real set of lock picks, that same day was my first run in with the law as I was picking the Schlage on my house (with great success). After that I was quickly on my way to being that creepy guy in the back of class picking locks for sport. It was that same year I stumbled into cinus the first person I met who was interested in digital and physical security. Six years later we found our-selfs building the Cowtown Computer Congress Kansas City, a hackerspace in a cave 80 feet below the surface.
