Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau for transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When the key is put into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an insignificant message to a receiver near the ignition switch. This causes the engine to start, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft This is the reason that most modern cars have them.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted via radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry technology, and are becoming more popular on a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob, which is kept in their pocket or bag. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers and allowing it to start.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with better security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows landlords to track the process of entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants in times of emergency to gain access to the property.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals the receiver inside the car. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will be able to detect this and close the doors.

While the majority of keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some of them are vulnerable to attack. A replay attack, for instance, is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later date. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.

Another advantage of keyless entry systems is that it doesn't require the replacement of locks following each tenant's turnover. It's costly to change locks for every tenant turnover, so it makes sense that landlords cut down on this cost as much as they can.
