Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip in their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle which uses transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft and that is why the majority of modern vehicles use them.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

If your vehicle has this security feature, you must always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. This is not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool the system. There are kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder using wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are gaining popularity on a number of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their pocket or bag. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to begin.

However proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. It could be expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced periodically.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key if you touch the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite their disadvantages however, proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who aren't looking to be locked out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergency, keep a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. If you need a new key, you can contact the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about prices for replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing a spare key outside the home are long gone and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are linked to back-end software and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants in times of emergency to gain access to the property.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or turns off your car. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For instance, if a driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will recognize this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks even though they are very safe. For example the term replay attack refers to when the remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is different from the previous ones.

Another benefit of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't require changing locks after each tenant's departure. This is an expensive part of the process for converting units and it is logical for landlords to reduce this expense as often as possible. In addition with a keyless access system all that is required is resetting the key, which is much quicker and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
