Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip within their key heads. When the key is put into an automobile that uses transponder technology it sends an unintentional message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern cars use them.
During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, most new cars come with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include the transponder chip.
If your car has this type of security, you must always have an extra key, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. But this isn't 100% secure, and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob that is in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.
However proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It's costly to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll have to be replaced frequently.
The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, when you press the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their limitations the proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who don't want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, make sure you always have a backup key in case of an emergency. If you need a new key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about replacement costs and to receive a price for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software, allowing the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Furthermore these systems make it easier for tenants to enter the property in the event an emergency.
A keyless entry system operates by sending encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically shut the door if, for example the driver is carrying an item in his hand.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. For example, a replay attack is where the original remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from the previous ones.
Another benefit of keyless entry systems is that it does not require changing the locks after each tenant's turnover. This is a significant cost of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to avoid this expense whenever feasible. If you have a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and less costly than replacing the lock.
