A secure container (2) has a combination lock (6) that is always operable in response to at least one master key and is also operable on a single occasion in response to a transaction-unique delivery key generated from the master key. The lock (6) also contains processor means (20) for comparing or decoding the delivery key, means (10, 20, 26) for releasing the lock in response to a valid delivery key, and storage means (22) for identifying used delivery keys. |
