Transponder Keys
In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip within their key heads. When inserted into a car that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips were designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars This is the reason they are used in most modern cars.
In World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are commonplace on new cars and are also retrofitted into older models.
If your car has this kind of security, you must always have an extra key, as the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. But this isn't 100% secure, and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are gaining popularity on a number of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle with the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.
There are a few disadvantages for proximity key systems however. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they will need to be replaced every now and then.
The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of breaking the cause-and effect cycle we are familiar with when using physical keys. With a traditional key when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.
Despite their downsides proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their car. In the event of an emergency, always have an extra key in case you own a proximity-key. If you require a new key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about prices for replacements and to get a quote for services.
Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys that are not in the home are long gone and landlords can give tenants more security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems are connected to back-end programs and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. Additionally these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in the event there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It also detects a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. It will automatically close the door, for instance, the driver has bags in his hands.
Although most keyless entry systems are extremely safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. A replay attack, for example occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent to a different location at a later time. This can be avoided by adding an algorithm to the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is unique from previous ones.
A keyless entry system also offers the advantage of being a keyless entry system that doesn't require you to change locks each when a tenant moves out. It's expensive to replace locks after every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as they can. If you have a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than replacing the lock.
