Transponder Keys Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip within their heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will trigger the engine to switch on. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves, which is why they are used in most modern automobiles. During 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, they've become commonplace on new cars, and can also be retrofitted to older models. If you have a car equipped with this type of security system, you must always have an extra transponder card on hand, since it only works when the chip is read correctly. It's not foolproof.

Keyless Entry Systems The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can now offer tenants better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync to back-end software and allow landlords to monitor entrance and exit. Furthermore, these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in the event an emergency. Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver reads the signal and opens or turns off your car. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance the driver has bags in his hands. Some keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they are extremely secure. For instance, a replay attack is when the initial remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later time. However, this could be stopped by adding to the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures that every transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
