This triggers the engine to begin, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars and that is why they are in use in many modern automobiles.
Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new vehicles come equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.

Proximity keys
Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technology, and are now being used on a variety vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allowing it to start.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys outside of the home are over, and landlords can give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end programs, allowing landlords to monitor entry and exit. Additionally these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in the event of a crisis.
A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect a driver’s presence and adjust the vehicle’s settings according to their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and then automatically shut the doors.
Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, despite being very safe. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from all previous ones.
