Key fobs are remote control that lets you open and start your vehicle without having to insert a key made of metal into the ignition. It's a tiny device that has a microchip on which information like an unique ID is stored as well as an antenna that can be used for sending and receiving signals. The microchip communicates with the receiver in your car via radio frequencies. These signals are a form of near-field communication (NFC) which allows for contactless payments and other features that require proximity.
Depending on your key fob's type, it will have different capabilities. Some systems, for example, keep a record of who has entered the building and at what time. This can be extremely helpful in preventing crimes. There are also security measures that could be added to the system, such as encrypted keys that make it impossible to copy them. Prox cards are extremely popular for fobs and are also referred to as 125khz (or 26-bit) or proximity cards.
