Transponder Keys
In contrast to flat metal keys that operate mechanically 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 the key is inserted into an automobile equipped with transponder tech the chip transmits an insignificant message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to send this signal it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips were designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars which is why they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.
In World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've been present on all new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If you own a car equipped with this kind of security system, you should always keep an extra transponder card on hand, since it only works only if the chip has been scanned correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, including kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their purse or pocket. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers, and allows it to start.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are synced to back-end software and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in emergency to gain access to the property.
Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver interprets the signal, unlocks your car or starts it. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically shut the door in the event that, for instance the driver has bags in his hands.
While most keyless entry systems are secure, some are susceptible to attack. For instance a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later point. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that ensures that every transmission is distinct from all previous ones.
