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 inside their key heads. When inserted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to prevent car thieves and that is why they are present in a majority of modern vehicles.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.

If you own a car that has this type of security system, make sure you always have a spare transponder key at hand, as it will only work when the chip is read correctly. However, this isn't completely foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry solutions, which are gaining popularity in a variety of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob in their pocket or bag. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing the engine to start.

However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. It's costly to get a locksmith replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll require to be replaced regularly.

The proximity key technology also has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all familiar with when using physical keys. When using a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. You'll have to be within a specified distance to activate the proximity-sensing key.

Despite their limitations however, proximity keys are an amazing invention for those who do not want to be locked out of their vehicle. If you have a proximity key, it is recommended to always keep a backup in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-Alock for a quote on the services and prices.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing a spare key outside the home are long gone, and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync to back-end programs and allow the landlord to monitor entry and exit. In addition these systems make it easier for tenants to enter the property in case in the event of a crisis.

A keyless entry system sends 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 in accordance with their preferences. It will shut the door if, for example the driver has a bag in his hands.

Although most keyless entry systems are secure, some are vulnerable to attack. For example replay attacks occur where the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later date. However, this could be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from all previous ones.

Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing the locks after each tenant's turnover. It is expensive to change locks every time a tenant moves out which is why it is recommended that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. With a keyless lock, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much faster and simpler than replacing the lock.
