Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When the key is put into an automobile that uses transponder tech the chip transmits an informational low-level message to the receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft and that is why the majority of modern vehicles use them.
In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are used on the majority of new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.
If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, make sure you always have an extra transponder keys in your car, as it only works when the chip is read correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered methods to fool the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that show how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry innovations 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 in their bag or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to start.
However proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your vehicle. It can be costly to hire a locksmith or dealer to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, meaning they'll require to be replaced every now and then.
Another disadvantage of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with using physical keys. If you're using a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. You'll have to be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.
Despite these disadvantages the proximity keys are a fantastic option for those who want to prevent locking themselves out of their cars. In case of emergency, always have a backup key handy if you have a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-A Lock for a quote on the services and costs.
Keyless Entry Systems
These systems are synchronized to back-end software that allows landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems are connected to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entrance and exit. In addition, these systems make it simpler for tenants to enter the property in case in the event of a crisis.
A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically close the door if, for example the driver is carrying an item in his bag.
While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some of them are vulnerable to attacks. For example replay attacks occur when the initial remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that every transmission is different from the previous ones.
Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it does not need to change locks after every tenant turnover. This is a cost-effective part of the process of transferring units, and it makes sense for landlords to save money whenever possible. If you have a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than changing the lock.
