Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) are equipped with an electronic chip in their heads. When they are placed in a car that has transponder technology, the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern cars use them.

In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are commonplace on new cars and are also retrofitted to older models.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this kind of security system, make sure you always have a spare transponder key in your car, as it only works only if the chip has been scanned correctly. However, this isn't foolproof and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system. These include kits and tutorials that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry innovations, which are now being used on a number of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle with the key fob in their pocket or bag. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.

However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost it won't be able to start the car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be changed often.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key, it's when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. You'll have to be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a fantastic option for drivers who want avoid locking themselves out of their vehicles.

In addition, these systems make it simpler for tenants to gain access to the property in case in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle according to their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks despite being very secure. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent to a different location at a later time. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.

A keyless entry system offers the benefit that it doesn't require you to change locks every time a tenant moves out. It's costly to change locks every time a tenant moves out and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as possible. With a keyless system all you have to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than changing the lock.
