Now you can store in the cloud the keys and the house

And from the car, and from anything. And not only store, but make a physical copy and share it with anyone. This service offers a startup KeyMe .

The idea of ​​the service is as follows: you photograph your key (on a white background) with a camera of an ordinary smartphone. The application saves this image in the cloud. After that, you can get a physical copy of the key in one of the kiosks that the company installs in different places (for now in the US).

This is not the first service dedicated to keys. This year a startup of keysduplicated.com has already appeared, which for $ 6 will send you by mail a physical copy of any key that you photograph (even without a white background). This service has already raised questions from security experts, who fear that attackers could copy other people's keys simply by taking a photo of them without the knowledge of the owner.

For security purposes, a DigitalPersona fingerprint scanning system is installed in KeyMe kiosks, with which client prints will be stored in the service database.



Now, if you need to share a house key with a friend or relative, you don’t have to leave it under a rug or in a flower pot. You can send him permission to receive a copy of your key, which will come to his e-mail. Make sure that your addressee is using a secure e-mail address, and other guests may appear suddenly.
