Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were designed to deter car thieves which is why they are in use in many modern automobiles.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later used to create car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are standard on most new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.

If you own a car equipped with this kind of security system, you must always keep an extra transponder card in your car, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned properly. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to trick this system. They come with kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technology, and are now being used on a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their car by merely 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 from the vehicle and allows it to begin.

There are some downsides with proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. It can be costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll require to be periodically replaced.

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

Despite their downsides the proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who don't want to lock themselves out of their car. In case of emergency, keep an extra key in case you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to get a quote for services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems sync to back-end programs and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in times of situation of crisis to access the property.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals a receiver inside the car. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will shut the door in the event that, for instance, the driver has bags in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are generally extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and then sent to a different location at a later time. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from the previous ones.

Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant turnover. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as possible. Furthermore with a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the code which is faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
