Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip within their heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips were designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars, which is why they are found in the majority of modern automobiles.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they've become standard on most new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone 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 the landlord to monitor access and exit. These systems also allow tenants in emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and automatically close the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. For instance the term replay attack refers to when the remote control signal is recorded, and then sent back to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is different from the previous one.

A keyless entry system also has the advantage that it doesn't require you to change locks every time a tenant is moved out. It is expensive to change locks following every turnover of a tenant and therefore it is sensible that landlords avoid this expense as much as is possible. If you have a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than changing the lock.
