For millions of travelers the ubiquitous hotel key card is the primary
and essentially the only way to access their rooms at the end of day.
But when you will heard that the key card, you use to access your
private room is no longer safe then its very much possible that you will
shock. And trust me this happened in Black Hat 2012.
A security researcher, Cody Brocious believes the current systems used
to secure hotel doors throughout the United States and elsewhere are
severely flawed. Speaking at the Black Hat security conference here, Brocious demonstrated
how locks from Onity a company that sells security products to hotels
and other businesses can easily be bypassed. At the show, Brocious
detailed the primary security flaws that allowed him to bypass Onity
locks and gain access to rooms.
