Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip within their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology it sends an insignificant message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves which is why they are used in most modern automobiles.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been used on the majority of new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.
If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you must always keep an extra transponder card at hand, as it will only work when the chip is read properly. This isn't 100% secure. Some people have found ways to trick this system. They come with kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.
There are a few drawbacks for proximity key systems though. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn't able to start the car. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll need to be replaced from time to time.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. With a traditional key it's when you press the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.
Despite these limitations they are a great innovation for those who want to keep themselves from locking out of their vehicles. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup in the event of an emergency. If you require a new key, call the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about the cost of replacements and to get a quote for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synchronized with back-end programs, allowing landlords to keep track of the process of entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in a situation of crisis to access the property.
A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically shut the door if, for example the driver is carrying an item in his bag.
Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks, even though they're generally extremely secure. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and sent again at a later point. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is unique from previous ones.
Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it does not need to change locks after every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks every time a tenant moves out and it is therefore sensible that landlords stay away from this expense as much as they can. In addition with a keyless access system the only thing that is required is resetting the code which is faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
