It's a tiny device equipped with a microchip in which information like a unique ID is stored as well as an antenna for sending and receiving signals. The microchip communicates with the receiver inside your car using radio frequency. These signals are part of near-field communications (NFC) which allow for contactless payments, and other features requiring proximity.

Security measures can also be included, like encrypted keys which make it more difficult to copy. Prox cards are a well-known fob design and are commonly called 26-bit prox, 125khz card, or proximity fobs.
