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 inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver located close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft, which is why most modern vehicles have them.
In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been standard on most new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models.
If your car has this type of security, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function properly if it is scanned. But this isn't 100% secure and some have discovered ways to evade the transponder system, such as kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their bag or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.
There are some disadvantages with proximity key systems though. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it is unable to be used to start your car. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, which could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll need to be changed frequently.
Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect cycle that we're used to with physical keys. When you use a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You must be within a specific distance to activate a proximity-sensing keys.
Despite their limitations proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who aren't looking to lock themselves out of their car. In the event of an emergency, make sure you have an additional key on hand if you own a proximity-key. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on services and prices.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys outside of the home are over and landlords can give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows landlords to track the process of entry and exit. In addition, these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically close the door, for instance, the driver has bags in his hands.
While most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are susceptible to attacks. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and sent again at a later point. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
Keyless entry systems also offers the benefit of not having to does not require you to replace locks each when a tenant leaves. This is a cost-effective part of the process of transferring units, and it makes sense for landlords to avoid this expense as much as it is possible. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than replacing the lock.
