Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft, which is why most modern cars have them.

During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new vehicles come equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, you must always have an extra transponder key on hand, since it only works in the event that the chip is scanned properly. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. These kits include tutorials on how to bypass the transponder using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are gaining popularity on a variety vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems do have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced frequently.

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

Despite these drawbacks proximity keys are a great innovation for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. In case of emergency, make sure you have a backup key handy if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A Lock to inquire about services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entry and exit. These systems also aid tenants in times of crisis to enter the property.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

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

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not need to change locks after every tenant's move. It's expensive to replace locks every time a tenant moves out, so it makes sense that landlords try to avoid this cost as much as they can. In addition, with a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is resetting the key, which is faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
