Transponder Keys In contrast to flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When they are placed in a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will trigger the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft, which is why most modern vehicles use them. In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars come with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted with them.

Keyless Entry Systems The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are synced with back-end software, allowing landlords to keep track of entry and exit.

A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks or starts your car. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example, the driver has a bag in his hands.

A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.
