Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) contain an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech, the chip sends out a low-level message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles use them.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, most new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.

If your car has this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry technology, and are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their bag or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allows it to start.

There are some downsides to proximity key systems though. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the car. It's expensive to get a locksmith replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll have 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. You must be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite their disadvantages the proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys that are not in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems sync to back-end software, allowing landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in a emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals the receiver inside the car. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks your car or starts it. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver has an item in his hand.

While most keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. For instance a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and sent back to the device at a later time. However, this could be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from previous ones.

Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it does not need to change locks after each tenant's departure. This is a significant cost of the process for converting units and it is sensible for landlords to reduce this expense as often as possible. Furthermore with a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the code, which is much quicker and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
