Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle which uses transponder technology the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.
Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new vehicles come equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include the transponder chip.
If you own a car equipped with this kind of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder card on hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned correctly. However, this isn't foolproof and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They let drivers unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.
There are some downsides to proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. It's expensive to get a locksmith replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll need to be replaced regularly.
Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.
Despite these disadvantages, proximity keys are a great option for those who wish to keep themselves from locking out of their vehicles. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key in the event of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock for a quote on services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys in the home are over and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems sync with back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor access and exit. These systems also allow tenants in situation of crisis to access the property.
A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals to the receiver inside the car. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example the driver is carrying bags in his hands.
Although most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted to a different location at a later time. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from previous ones.
Keyless entry also offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that does not require you to replace the locks each time a tenant is moved out. It's costly to change locks for every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as they can. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
