Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) 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 unintentional signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars which is why a majority of modern cars use them.

In World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are used on the majority of new cars and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this type of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. But this isn't 100% secure and some have discovered methods to fool the transponder system, such as tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are gaining popularity on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to begin.

There are some disadvantages to proximity key systems, however. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your vehicle. It could be expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll require replacing often.

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 you have the key. You'll have to be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a great innovation for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out of their vehicles. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have a backup key handy if you own a proximity-key. If you require a replacement key, call your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are over, and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of the process of entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to enter the property in case of a crisis.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks your car or starts it. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will shut the door, for instance, the driver has an item in his hand.

While most keyless entry systems are extremely safe, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance a replay attack occurs where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is different from the previous one.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing the locks after each tenant's turnover. It's costly to change locks after every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. In addition when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is to reset the code, which is a lot faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
