Even though we've been using wireless locks in cars for many years, I'm still a bit leery of things like wireless front door locks. Same thing with hooking up my garage door to the Internet.


With 4096-bit encryption, using wifi locks, etc., are much more secure than actual keys. Just make sure you use a product that has encryption turned on by default.

I realize it's a bit irrational, but everything is cracked eventually, and sometimes serious security holes go unnoticed for decades as we found out with Shell Shock last week.
