Transponder Keys Transponder keys (a portmanteau for responder and transmitter) include an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are fitted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were developed to prevent car thieves which is why they are found in the majority of modern automobiles. 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 key in 1985 for its Corvette model.

Proximity Keys Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry solutions, which are gaining popularity in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car.

Keyless Entry Systems The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can now give tenants more security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync to back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also make it easier for tenants in times of crisis to enter the property. A keyless entry system works by sending encrypted signals to the car's receiver. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and close the doors. Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally very safe. For example the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded and repeated to the device at a later point.
