Aw, now that's not fair. Crypto-hardened smart cards vs regular locks?
Put your cryptographic up against a Medeco (or similar). Medeco is
unpickable & drill resistant.
I'm not sure you *can* have a (physically) keyed lock that's "unpickable".
Well, if I remember correctly, there is a $10K reward offered by Medeco
if you can pick open one of their locks for them. I heard that only one
guy did it and was hired on the spot to make it even better. I doubt
there has been any shortage of others who tried. Schlage Primus is one
that is close to pick proof as well as a few from Assa and others.
You're welcome to try to cash in on the reward if you think you can do
it. You can buy a Medeco deadbolt for your door from around $100 (if
you're lucky) to about $900 each. Buy one and practice on it.
