Here is an interesting video of a talk that goes over a number of<br>
problems in how physical security systems are designed, evaluated and<br>
installed.  These are the systems that control opening and closing doors<br>
in government buildings, schools and office buildings.  The talk focuses<br>
on vulnerabilities in S2 Security physical security devices.  He starts<br>
talking about the actual vulnerability around 15 minutes into the talk.<br>

<br>
The talk is a little slow, but I found there were a number of<br>
interesting tidbits pointing toward potential vulnerabilities in other<br>
physical security devices and poorly designed embedded devices in general.<br>
