Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech, the chip sends out an informational low-level message to the receiver located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to deter car thieves, which is why they are found in the majority of modern cars.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, they've been commonplace on new cars and are also retrofitted into older models.

If your car has this security feature, you should always have a spare key, as the chip can only function correctly if it is read. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. The key fob can be put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.

However proximity key systems do have some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll need to be changed regularly.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. You'll have to be within a specified distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Despite these limitations proximity keys are a great innovation for drivers who want to keep themselves from locking out of their vehicles. In case of emergency, keep an extra key in case you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A Lock to inquire about services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are connected to back-end programs and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in emergency to gain access to the property.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals the receiver inside the car. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings in accordance with their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will recognize this and then automatically shut the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally extremely secure. For example a replay attack occurs when the initial remote control signal is recorded and then sent again to the device at a later time. This can be prevented by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from the previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not require the replacement of locks following every tenant turnover. It's expensive to replace locks for every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords stay away from this cost as much as they can. In addition with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the code which is much faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
