Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips were developed to stop car thieves from stealing cars which is why they are used in most modern automobiles.

Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they are used on the majority of new cars and are also retrofitted into older models.

If you own a car that has this type of security system, you must always have an extra transponder card in your car, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. But this isn't 100% secure, 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 among the most recent keyless entry technology, and are now being used on a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allows it to begin.

However, proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is lost or damaged, it can't be used to start the car. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they will need to be replaced every now and then.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all 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 vehicle to activate it.

Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who want to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. In the event of an emergency, always have a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also aid tenants in times of crisis to enter the property.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle's settings in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example the driver has an item in his hand.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they're generally extremely secure. For instance the term replay attack refers to when the remote control signal is recorded, and then transmitted to the device at a later time. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing the locks after every tenant's move. This is a significant cost of the unit turnover process, and it makes sense for landlords to save money whenever feasible. With a keyless system all you have to do is reset the code. This is much faster and easier than replacing the lock.
