Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft and that is why the majority of modern cars use them.
Transponder technology was first introduced during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, most new vehicles are equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.
If your car is equipped with this type of security, you should always carry an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip can only function correctly if it is read. This is not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to fool the system. These kits include tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technology, and are becoming popular on a number of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to start.
However, proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it will not be used to start your car. It's costly to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they will need to be replaced regularly.
Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it breaks the cause/effect cycle we're all used to with physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll have to be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.
Despite their downsides the proximity key technology is a great invention for drivers who don't want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. In the event of an emergencies, always keep an emergency key with you if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop A Lock store to inquire about services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are over and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows landlords to track access and exit. These systems also allow tenants who are in situation of crisis to access the property.
A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example, the driver has bags in his hands.
Although most keyless entry systems are secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. For instance replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later time. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.
Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following every tenant's move. This is an expensive part of the unit turnover process and it is logical for landlords to reduce this expense as often as feasible. In addition, with a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the key, which is much faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
