A key fob is a device made up of a computer chip and an aluminum shell. When the fob is in proximity to an open reader the copper coils on both sides of it are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer on the fob, which transmits an unique number that acts as a credential for identification.

The key fob will then be displayed to the reader, so that the information stored in the memory can be compared. This method, referred to as "key-matching" is utilized by the security system of the vehicle in order to verify that the owner is authorized.
