Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech it sends an unintentional message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft This is the reason that most modern cars use them.
During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become used on the majority of new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.
If your car has this security feature, it is recommended to always have an extra key, as the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. It's not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick the system. They come with kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry solutions, which are now being used in a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their bag or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.
There are a few disadvantages to proximity key systems, though. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or dealership will have to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll have to be replaced every now and then.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.
Despite their downsides the proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. In case of emergency, keep an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A-Lock to get a quote for services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with greater security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are connected to back-end software, allowing landlords to track entry and exit. Additionally, these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in the event of a crisis.
Keyless entry systems work by sending encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle's settings in accordance with their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, the system will recognize this and then automatically shut the doors.
While most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are vulnerable to attack. For example, a replay attack is when the initial remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
Another benefit of keyless entry systems is that it does not require the replacement of locks following every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks for every tenant turnover and therefore it is sensible that landlords cut down on this cost as much as they can. Additionally when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the code which is much quicker and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
