Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip in their key heads. When they are placed in a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars, which is why most modern cars have them.
In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, they've become present on all new cars and are also retrofitted into older models.

This is not foolproof. Some people have found ways to fool this system. They come with kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are the newest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles.

The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to start.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing a spare key outside the home are over, and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems sync with back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor the entry and exit of tenants. Furthermore these systems make it easier for tenants to get into the property in the event an emergency.
A keyless entry system operates by transmitting encrypted signals to the receiver inside the car. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks or starts your car. It can also recognize the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. For example, if a driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will recognize this and shut the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, despite being very safe. For example a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later point. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.
Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing the locks after every tenant turnover. It can be costly to replace locks after every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords stay away from this expense as much as possible. Moreover, with a keyless entry system, all that is required is resetting the code, which is much quicker and easier than replacing the entire lock.
