A key fob is an electronic device made up of a computer chip as well as a metal shell. When it comes close to an RFID reader, the copper coils on both sides of the fob get energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. The energy is then transmitted to the microcomputer inside the fob which transmits an unique number that serves as your identity credential.
The key fob will then be displayed to the reader, so that the number stored in the memory can be compared. This process, commonly referred to "key-matching" is utilized by the security system of the vehicle in order to verify that the owner is authorized. After the keys have been matched to the reader, they will be able to start the car and open the doors.
