Transponder Keys In contrast to flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When they are placed in a car which uses transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start if it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to guard against theft of cars, which is why most modern cars use them. Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later applied to car keys and keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are standard on most new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models. If you own a car with this type of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder card at hand, as it will only work if the chip is scanned correctly. It's not foolproof.

Keyless Entry Systems The days of storing keys outside of the home are over, and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor the entry and exit of tenants. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in the event an emergency. Keyless entry works by sending encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to meet their needs. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will be able to detect this and shut the doors. While the majority of keyless entry systems are secure, some are susceptible to attack. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and sent again at a later time. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.
