Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to transmitter and responder) contain an electronic chip within their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder tech, the chip sends out a low-level message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft This is the reason that most modern vehicles use them.

In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new vehicles come equipped with these keys, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If you own a car equipped with this kind of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder key on hand, as it will only work in the event that the chip is scanned properly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered methods to fool the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their pocket or bag. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.

There are a few disadvantages with proximity key systems however. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the car. It's costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they will need to be replaced from time to time.

Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it breaks the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with using physical keys. When using a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.

Despite these limitations, proximity keys are a great option for those who wish to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. In case of emergency, make sure you have an emergency key with you if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are over and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync to back-end programs and allow landlords to track entry and exit. Furthermore these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event of a crisis.

Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It can also recognize a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings in accordance with their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and automatically close the doors.

Although most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. For example the term replay attack refers to where the original remote control signal is recorded and sent back to the device at a later date. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another advantage of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's departure. This is a costly part of the process for converting units and it is sensible for landlords to avoid this expense whenever it is possible. Moreover, with a keyless entry system all that is required is resetting the key, which is a lot faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
