Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were created to prevent car thieves and that is why they are used in most modern vehicles.

Transponder technology first came into use in 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, the majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with the transponder chip.

If you own a car equipped with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder key on hand, since it only works if the chip is scanned properly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, such as kits and tutorials that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are becoming popular on a variety vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their pocket or bag. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allowing it to start.

However proximity key systems come with some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It could be expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll have to be replaced often.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, it's when you press the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite these drawbacks the proximity keys are a great innovation for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out their vehicles. If you own a proximity key, you should always have a backup key in case 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 greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software that allows landlords to track the entry and exit of tenants. These systems also aid tenants in a crisis to enter the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically close the door if, for example the driver has an item in his hand.

Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally very secure. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later time. However, this can be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from previous ones.

Another benefit of keyless entry systems is that it does not require changing the locks after every tenant's move. It's expensive to replace locks for every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords stay away from this expense as much as they can. In addition when using a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the key, which is much quicker and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
