Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip within their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech the chip transmits an informational low-level message to the receiver located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips were created to protect cars from theft This is the reason they are used in most modern automobiles.

Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are present on all new cars and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this security feature, you should always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function effectively if it's scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to start.

However proximity key systems do have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the car. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll need to be periodically replaced.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle we are used to when using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance from the car to activate it.

Despite these drawbacks, proximity keys are a great innovation for those who wish to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In case of emergency, make sure you have a backup key handy if you own a proximity key.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are over and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are synced to a back-end program and permit the landlord to monitor entry and exit. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event an emergency.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals the receiver inside the car. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For instance, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they're generally very safe. For instance, a replay attack is when the initial remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later date. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from all previous ones.

Keyless entry systems also has the advantage that it doesn't require changing the locks each time a tenant is moved out. It's costly to change locks for every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords stay away from this expense as much as they can. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and easier than replacing the lock.
