Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are placed in a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft which is why a majority of modern vehicles use them.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been present on all new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this type of security, you should always have an extra key, as the chip can only function effectively if it's scanned. It's not foolproof. Some people have found ways to trick this system. There are 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 technologies, which are gaining popularity in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob in their pocket or bag.

The proximity key technology also 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, it's when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You'll have to be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys outside of the home are over and landlords can give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems sync to back-end software and allow landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants who are in crisis to enter the property.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver is carrying bags in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally very safe. For instance a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and sent back to the device at a later time. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is different from the previous one.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not need to change locks after every tenant turnover. This is a cost-effective part of the process for converting units, and it makes sense for landlords to avoid this expense whenever feasible. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and less costly than replacing the lock.
