Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When inserted into a car that has 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 provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips were designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars which is why they are in use in many modern vehicles.
In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly.

Since then, transponder keys are present on all new vehicles and are also retrofitted into older models.

Some people have found ways to trick the system. They include kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and shut the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they are generally very secure. For example replay attacks occur when the original remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
