Rolling codes ALWAYS repeat

Any rolling code will repeat itself. The good ones have a repeat cycle in the billions or higher. So this article is incorrect. Rolling codes do repeat. Hcobb (talk) 06:20, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not correct. If there were a billion codes, and a user pressed the button once a day, it would take almost 3 million years before the code repeated. Even with 100 key presses a day, nobody would come close to getting to the point where things would repeat. If you assume a 20 year lifespan for an opener, then the person would have to use the opener almost 140,000 times a day. In that case, it won't last 20 years. It would be impossible to make a remote control with a lifespan of that many keypresses. So it would be theoretically impossible to get to the point where a code could repeat. You are basing your assumption on a remote control with a theoretical infinite lifespan and a garage door or car that will last equally long.Hagrinas (talk) 21:11, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pseudo OTP?

Is this like a pseudo one time pad? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.170.233 (talk) 16:14, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
