Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When inserted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars, which is why most modern cars have them.

Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when encoded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become commonplace on new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys that are not in the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync with back-end software, allowing landlords to track entry and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically close the door in the event that, for instance the driver has a bag in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks, even though they are very secure. For example replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded and repeated to the device at a later point. However, this can be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from all previous ones.
