Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) contain an electronic chip inside their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech the chip sends an unintentional message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were developed to protect cars from theft and that is why they are found in the majority of modern automobiles.
During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later used to create car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are commonplace on new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If your car is equipped with this kind of security, you must always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work correctly if it is read. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technologies, which are becoming more popular on a variety vehicles. They let drivers unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and permitting it to start.
There are some downsides for proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the car. It could be expensive to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll need to be replaced frequently.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause and effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You must be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.
Despite their drawbacks the proximity key technology is an excellent invention for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their car. If you have a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup on hand in case of an emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about services and prices.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys that are not in the home are over and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are synced to back-end software and allow landlords to track entry and exit. In addition these systems make it simpler for tenants to enter the property in case of a crisis.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also detects the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle in accordance with their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and shut the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems could be prone to attacks, even though they're generally very secure. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and then sent again at a later point. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system to ensure that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.
Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing the locks after each tenant's departure. It is expensive to change locks every time a tenant moves out and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. In addition with a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the code, which is much faster and simpler than replacing the entire lock.
