How entropic are combination locks? And vulnerable to picking - I've had to pick a 3-dial Realtor lock before in an emergency. It's easy with an aluminum-foil shim and Youtube instructions.
- dheera 9y ago> How entropic are your memorized passwords? Quite entropic. And I use PBKDF-HMAC-SHA256 to generate other passwords from a master password on any machine I own without having to store or carry a database or keystore. > How entropic are combination locks? What is the attack vector here? A lot of key locks are easy to pick. My apartment door's key lock is a lot more insecure than some of the better combination locks out there. If someone really wants to get in, they can smash the windows. At that point I think having a security camera system or alarm system would be a better investment.
