A company called KeyMe in the United States of America released an application four years ago that allowed you to scan the wrenches to get as many copies as you want. Now it's going a step further by building self-scanning and key-making kiosks, sort of like automatic locksmiths.
The company KeyMe, he offered until recently one application for iOS and Android that digitally scanned your keys and stored them picture them in the cloud. From there, if you ever lost your keys you could refer to the database and get as many antikeys as you want for a fee of course.
The company announced today that it is taking a step further by building 2.000 kiosks where you will be able to scan any key you have, either simple or car (including transponders). These automated kiosks are only aimed at the market of USA and will be installed by the end of this year.
In your question about data security, the company says that the kiosks record the transaction in a detailed history and use fingerprint technology to access scanned keys.
It is interesting that KeyME's move at a time when the market tends to digitize consumer goods and the first locks that now open with fingerprints are already available to the general public, commands from mobile telephone etc., eclipsing the classic traditional iron keys.
