Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip within their key heads. When they are placed in a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft and that is why the majority of modern vehicles use them.
During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they are present on all new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.
If you have a car equipped with this kind of security system, make sure you always have an extra transponder key at hand, as it will only work only if the chip has been scanned properly. It isn't foolproof. Some people have found ways to trick the system. There are kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technologies, which are becoming more popular on a variety vehicles. They let drivers unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob in their bag or pocket. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to start.
There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll require replacing often.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll need to be within a certain distance to activate proximity-sensing key.
Despite their disadvantages proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you own a proximity key, you should always keep a backup in the event of an emergency. If you need a new key, contact your local Pop-Alock to inquire about replacement costs and to get a quote for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software that allows landlords to monitor both exit and entry. These systems are linked to back-end software, allowing landlords to track entry and exit. These systems also aid tenants in times of crisis to get into the property.
Keyless entry works by sending encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The Keylab interprets the signal, unlocks your car or starts it. It can also detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For instance, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will recognize this and then automatically shut the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks, despite being very secure. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and sent again at a later date. This can be avoided by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from the previous one.
Keyless entry systems also offers the benefit of not having to doesn't require you to change the locks each when a tenant leaves. It can be costly to replace locks following every turnover of a tenant, so it makes sense that landlords stay away from this expense as much as possible. Additionally when using a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the code which is faster and easier than replacing the entire lock.
