Transponder Keys
Unlike 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 embedded in their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips were designed to protect cars from theft, which is why they are present in a majority of modern cars.
Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, they've become commonplace on new cars, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If your car is equipped with this type of security, you must always have an extra key, as the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered ways to evade the transponder system. These include kits and tutorials that explain how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity Keys
Proximity Keys are one of the newest keyless entry technology that is becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They let drivers unlock their car by merely touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their pocket or bag. The key fob will then communicate with the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to begin.
There are a few disadvantages with proximity key systems however. If the key fob becomes damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also provide power to the fobs. So they'll have to be replaced periodically.
Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.
Despite these limitations proximity keys are a great option for drivers who want to avoid locking themselves out of their cars. If you own a proximity key, it is recommended to always have a backup key on hand in the event of an emergency. If you need a new key, you can contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about prices for replacements and to request a quote for services.
Keyless Entry Systems

These systems are linked to back-end software, which allows landlords to track access and exit. These systems also help tenants in times of emergency to gain access to the property.
Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals to the receiver inside the car. 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 the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. It will automatically shut the door in the event that, for instance the driver is carrying an item in his bag.
Although most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are susceptible to attack. For instance a replay attack occurs when the initial remote control signal is recorded and sent back to the device at a later point. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system to ensure that every transmission is different from previous ones.
