Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that uses transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips were developed to prevent car thieves and that is why they are in use in many modern vehicles.

During World War II, coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies in order to determine whether an aircraft was friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they are standard on most new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

If your car is equipped with this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand, as the chip will only work correctly if it is read. However, this isn't foolproof, and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. These include kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are becoming more popular in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by simply touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob will then communicate with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to start.

However proximity key systems have certain disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the car. It could be expensive to have a locksmith or dealership replace it. Batteries also power the fobs, which means they'll need to be changed regularly.

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with using physical keys. With a traditional key if you touch the lock and it opens, you know you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.

Despite these drawbacks the proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who want to avoid locking themselves out their cars. In case of emergency, keep an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key.

For example the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later time.
