Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology it sends a low-level message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to deter car thieves which is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are commonplace on new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

If you own a car with this type of security system, make sure you always have an extra transponder card on hand, as it will only work when the chip is read properly. However, this isn't foolproof and some have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are now being used on a number of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob that is in their purse or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers and permitting it to start.

However proximity key systems do have some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn't able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, which could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, and so they'll need to be replaced from time to time.

Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect loop we're used to with physical keys. With a traditional key if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite these limitations they are a fantastic invention for those who wish to avoid locking themselves out their cars. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on the services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are long gone, and landlords can give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync with back-end software that allows landlords to track the process of entry and exit. Additionally these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in the event in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, despite being very secure. For example the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is different from the previous one.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't 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 reduce this expense as often as it is possible. Additionally, with a keyless entry system all that is required is resetting the code, which is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
