Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that has transponder technology, the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are made to stop theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern cars use them.

In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly.

Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally very safe. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and sent again at a later time. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system, which ensures that every transmission is different from the previous ones.
