1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
initialize a first key object record in a data store, the first key object record arranged to store data associated with a first physical key object;
store a digital fingerprint of the first physical key object in the first key object record;
store a first digital record in the data store, wherein the first digital record is different from the first key object record;
associate the first digital record with the digital fingerprint of the first physical key object;
query the data store based on a first access key tendered to the computing system to identify the digital fingerprint of the first physical key object; and
when the query of the data store identifies the digital fingerprint of the first physical key object within a prescribed level of confidence, grant access to the first digital record stored in the data store.
