Digital locks are much harder to pick. The alternative to stealing a physical key is breaking the lock. For many real-world assets, like a car or a home, that is enti-rely feasible. Breaking a digital lock protected with strong encryption is nearly impossible.

The value that digital keys can unlock may be vastly greater than in the physical world. Most assets protected by a physical key—a car, a house, a bank vault—have a value proportional to the strength of the physical security provided for the asset. But with digital assets, a single key can potentially unlock billions of dollars of value in the form of cryptocurrencies, digital fiat currencies, or some other form of digital asset.
