Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When the key is put into an automobile that uses transponder technology it sends an unintentional message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft This is the reason that most modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, most new cars come with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, you must always keep an extra transponder key on hand, since it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned correctly. But this isn't 100% secure and some have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that describe how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry solutions, which are becoming popular on a number of vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to start.

However proximity key systems do have some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your car. A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced often.

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock 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 their downsides, proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their car. In case of emergency, make sure you have an extra key in case you own a proximity key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to inquire about services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are over and landlords can now provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced to back-end software, allowing landlords to track entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to gain access to the property in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and automatically close the doors.

Although most keyless entry systems are secure, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance replay attacks occur where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent back to the device at a later time. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from all previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the benefit of not having to doesn't require you to change locks each when a tenant leaves. It's costly to change locks following every turnover of a tenant and therefore it is sensible that landlords cut down on this cost as much as they can. With a keyless lock, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
