Transponder Keys
In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car thieves, which is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, all new vehicles are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.
If you own a vehicle equipped with this type of security system, you must always have a spare transponder key on hand, as it only works if the chip is scanned properly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that describe how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are becoming popular on a variety vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their car by merely touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allowing it to start.
However proximity key systems come with certain disadvantages. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your car. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll need to be replaced every now and then.
Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause/effect process we're used to with physical keys. With a traditional key when you touch the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their downsides the proximity key technology is an amazing tool for drivers who don't want to be locked out of their vehicle. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always have a backup key in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-A Lock for a quote on services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys in the home are long gone and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync with back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of the process of entry and exit. Additionally these systems make it simpler for tenants to gain access to the property in the event an emergency.
Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver receives the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and automatically close the doors.
While most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are susceptible to attacks. For instance replay attacks occur when the remote control signal is recorded and repeated to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system, which ensures that each transmission is unique from the previous one.
Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. It's expensive to replace locks every time a tenant moves out which is why it is recommended that landlords stay away from this expense as much as they can. With a keyless system all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than changing the lock.
