Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When inserted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, a majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you must always keep an extra transponder card at hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are now being used on a number of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allowing it to start.

There are some downsides with proximity key systems though. If the key fob is lost or damaged it won't be able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced often.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You must be within a certain distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite their limitations proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their car. In case of emergencies, always keep an emergency key with you if you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store to get a quote for services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are linked to back-end software that allows the landlord to monitor the process of entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants who are in crisis to get into the property.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals the receiver inside the car. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings according to their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they're generally very secure. For example the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded and then repeated to the device at a later point. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from previous ones.

Keyless entry systems also has the advantage that it doesn't require changing locks each time a tenant is moved out. This is a significant cost of the process for converting units, and it makes sense for landlords to avoid this expense whenever feasible. With a keyless lock, all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and simpler than changing the lock.
