Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) are equipped with an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, most new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

There are some who have discovered ways to trick the system. They come with kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone, and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entrance and exit. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver has an item in his bag.

Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they are generally very secure. A replay attack, for example occurs when the remote control signal from the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later time. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.
