During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later applied to car keys, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, a majority of new cars come with them, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.

If your car is equipped with this kind of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. But this isn't 100% secure, and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity Keys are among the latest keyless entry innovations that are becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They let drivers unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their bag or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to begin.

However proximity key systems come with some disadvantages. If the key fob is lost or damaged the fob isn't usable to start the car. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, and this could be costly. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll require replacing periodically.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are over and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are linked to back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor access and exit. These systems also help tenants in a crisis to enter the property.

Keyless entry systems work by sending encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver then responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust settings to accommodate their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and automatically close the doors.

Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they're generally very secure. For instance the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then sent again to the device at a later point. This can be prevented by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that ensures every transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
