Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars, which is why most modern vehicles have them.
Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are present on all new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.
If your car has this kind of security, then you must always have an extra key, as the chip can only function properly if it is scanned. But this isn't 100% secure and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.
There are a few drawbacks with proximity key systems however. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your car. It's expensive to get a locksmith replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they will need to be periodically replaced.
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. With a traditional key, when you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite these disadvantages they are a fantastic invention for drivers who want to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. In case of emergencies, always keep an extra key in case you have a proximity-key. If you require a replacement key, call the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about prices for replacements and to get a quote for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are connected to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entrance and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.
A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. 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 preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and then automatically shut the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they are extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later time. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.
A keyless entry system also has the advantage that it does not require you to change locks every when a tenant leaves. This is a costly part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense whenever possible. Moreover with a keyless entry system all that is required is resetting the code which is much quicker and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
