Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When inserted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft and that is why the majority of modern cars have them.
Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become standard on most new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If you own a car that has this type of security system, it is recommended to always keep an extra transponder card on hand, since it only works when the chip is read correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, such as kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The Key Not Detected Skoda Octavia fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allows it to start.
However, proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost it won't be able to start the vehicle. It could be expensive to get a locksmith replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll need to be replaced periodically.
Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect cycle that we're familiar with using physical keys. With a traditional key if you touch the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance from the car to activate it.
Despite their disadvantages however, proximity keys are an amazing tool for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. If you own a proximity key, you should always keep a backup in the event of an emergency.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to keep track of the entry and exit of tenants. These systems also aid tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.
A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals to the receiver inside the car. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically shut the door if, for example the driver has an item in his bag.
Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is unique from the previous one.
A keyless entry system also has the advantage that it does not require you to change locks each when a tenant moves out. This is an expensive part of the process for converting units, and it makes sense for landlords to save money whenever it is possible. In addition when using a keyless entry system the only thing that is required is resetting the code which is much faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
