A keyless entry system operates by sending encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver receives the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle's settings in accordance with their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will recognize this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are very secure. For example the term replay attack refers to where the original remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later point.
