There are two sides when it comes to the lock security. First is the structural security.
Comparing to the locks in the market in terms of structural security we are well above average. We can't beat Kryptonite New Yorker but we are as good as other Kryptonite U-Locks. Note that every lock in the market can be easily compromised with an angle grinder. The amount of extra (structural) security you get per dollar has a diminishing return. For example, a $60 lock is probably six times more secure than a $10 lock, but $100 lock maybe hardly twice as secure as a $60 lock.
In terms of electronic key security (or keying security), there is no way to hack the lock. Everything is encrypted using 128-AES (access control industry standard). Plus we make sure our keys have are completely random and have maximum entropy. On a side note, I have a PhD on embedded system security, so you can probably on this one. We are also going to send BitLocks to a group of hackers in Germany and challenge them to compromise the security of the locks.
A final note, encryption even the lousy ones are way more secure that the mechanical keying systems. Most locks can be picked by professional lock pickers.
