Transponder Keys

Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When the key is put into a vehicle that utilizes transponder tech the chip sends an insignificant message 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 made to protect cars from theft which is why a majority of modern cars use them.

During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technology, and are gaining popularity on a number of vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are long gone and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are connected to back-end software and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in crisis to get into the property.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also detects a driver’s presence and adjust the vehicle’s settings according to their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks even though they are very safe. For example replay attacks occur when the remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later time. However, this can be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn’t require changing the locks after every tenant’s move. It can be costly to replace locks for every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords stay away from this expense as much as is possible. Furthermore when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is to reset the code, which is much quicker and easier than replacing the entire lock.
