Transponder Keys

Instead of 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 uses transponder technology, the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were created to deter car thieves and that is why they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars are equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync with back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor access and exit. Additionally, these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, the system will recognize this and automatically close the doors.

While most keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later date. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is different from the previous one.
