Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are placed in a car that uses transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to deter car thieves which is why they are present in a majority of modern cars.

Transponder technology first came into use during World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new cars are equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.

If your car has this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have an extra key, as the chip can only function properly if it is scanned. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. They include kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder by using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry technology, and are becoming more popular on a number of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to begin.

There are some downsides for proximity key systems however. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your vehicle. It could be expensive to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll need to be changed regularly.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll need to be within a specified distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite their drawbacks, proximity key technology is an amazing invention for those who do not want to be locked out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup key in case of emergency. If you need a replacement key, call the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about prices for replacements and to request a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are over and landlords can now provide tenants with greater security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are synchronized with back-end programs, allowing landlords to keep track of access and exit. These systems also help tenants in times of crisis to get into the property.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. It will automatically shut the door in the event that, for instance the driver is carrying an item in his hand.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance, a replay attack is when the remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later date. However, this can be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't need to change locks after every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks following every turnover of a tenant and therefore it is sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as possible. If you have a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than replacing the lock.
