Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip in their heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder tech it sends an insignificant message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were created to protect cars from theft which is why they are used in most modern cars.
In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are present on all new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder card at hand, as it only works in the event that the chip is scanned properly. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. They include kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are among the latest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their bag or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.
There are some downsides with proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost it won't be able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll have to be replaced every now and then.
Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect cycle that we're familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key if you touch the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. You must be within a certain distance to activate proximity-sensing key.
Despite their downsides, proximity key technology is an amazing invention for those who don't want to be locked out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, you should always have a spare key in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop A Lock store for a quote on the services and prices.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems sync to back-end programs and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to enter the property in case in the event of a crisis.
A keyless entry system works by sending encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their needs. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will recognize this and automatically close the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they're generally very safe. For example a replay attack occurs when the original remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant turnover. It is expensive to change locks following every turnover of a tenant and it is therefore sensible that landlords cut down on this expense as much as possible. Moreover when using a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is resetting the code which is much quicker and easier than replacing the entire lock.
