Abstract: The invention relates to a device (23) for actuating the locking mechanism of a lock, more particularly a furniture lock, said device comprised of a fixing unit (1) by means of which the device (23) can be fastened to a component, more particularly a door and/or window sash, at which the lock is also arranged, and comprised of a handle (27) which is pivoting mounted about a rotary axis at the fixing unit (1) and through the rotation of which the locking mechanism can be manually actuated, and comprised of a power transmission unit (8) which can be torque-proof coupled to the handle (27) to transmit the power applied on rotating the handle (27) to the locking mechanism, wherein the power transmission unit (8) is not coupled torque-proof to the handle (27) until a release code is entered and authenticated, and wherein the entry of the release code is effected by way of electronically picking-up at least one position of the handle (27) relative to the power transmission unit (8), and wherein the entry of the rel

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating a currently valid one-time release code (1) for an electronic lock (9), which can be transitioned from the locked state thereof to the released state thereof by entering the currently valid one-time release code (1). In order to provide an electronic lock (9) having very high security against unauthorized actuation, according to the invention the currently valid one-time release code (1) is generated by encrypting the immediately previously valid one-time release code (5) by means of an encrypting algorithm (6), wherein the encryption takes place in consideration of an encrypting code (4) generated from an individual master code (2) that is entered and a key code (3) that is stored in the electronics of the lock (9).
