Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for transmitter and responder) contain an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that uses transponder technology, the chip transmits an low-level signal to the receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were developed to protect cars from theft This is the reason they are present in a majority of modern automobiles.

Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they've become commonplace on new cars and are also retrofitted to older models.

If your car is equipped with this type of security, you should always have an extra key in case of emergency, since 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. This includes tutorials and kits that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity Keys are the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular across a variety of vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob in their pocket or bag. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and permitting it to start.

However proximity key systems come with some disadvantages. If the key fob gets damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your car. It's costly to get a locksmith replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced often.

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. You'll have to be within a certain distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite their drawbacks however, proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand in the event of an emergency. If you need a replacement key, call the local Pop-A Lock to inquire about replacement costs and to get a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys outside of the home are long gone, and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end programs, allowing the landlord to monitor the entry and exit of tenants. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in case an emergency.

A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals a receiver inside the car. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks your car or starts it. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the settings of the vehicle according to their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and then automatically shut the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later date. This can be prevented by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from the previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. This is a significant cost of the process of transferring units and it is sensible for landlords to avoid this expense as much as feasible. If you have a keyless system, all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and easier than replacing the lock.
