Step 107Key-Rex™
[[br]]Bryce Fastener put a great deal of research and development into the Key-Rex™ fastener with the intent to make it a lock. Key-Rex™ shapes are created through an "encryption" process that makes a shape out of millions of variables and defines the "key code" carried by each part. This "key-code" is assigned to an individual user. The millions of key variations ensure that each licensed Key-Rex™ is private and exclusive to the owner. It requires a perfectly manufactured key to operate it. It repels all security bit tips and vice grips.
Used in the most difficult security applications such as voting machines, parking lot lock boxes, gambling machines and city copper security. Sizes available from 3/56-5/8 x 11 (M2-M12)[[br]]

A slot would most often work, although this would depend on how deeply countersunk the head is, and if the head is large enough to cut or cutting disc is thin enough. I do have some very small ones with very little 'lip' left after a slot was cut to easily remove. Security screws are intended to deter removal by unauthorised persons while retaining full functionality to authorized persons. If the screw was never intended to remove then there are some very permanent adhesives.
As well security screws are often used to indicate attempts to remove. One example of this would be when screw removal voids warranty.
All being said though, they are by no means as secure as an actual lock and key, but even those can be bypassed with picks ... and axes.
