Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) are equipped with an electronic chip inside their heads. When inserted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends low-level signals to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars, which is why most modern cars use them.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars come with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include them.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are now being used on a number 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 connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and permitting it to start.

With a traditional key, when you press the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can now provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are extremely secure. For example the term replay attack refers to when the initial remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later time. However, this can be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.
