Transponder Keys

In contrast to flat metal keys that are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and skoda new key responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle that utilizes transponder technology it sends an informational low-level message to the receiver located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips were created to protect cars from theft which is why they are found in the majority of modern vehicles.

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

A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks, even though they're generally extremely secure. For example a replay attack occurs when the original remote control signal is recorded and then transmitted to the device at a later point. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from all previous ones.

Another benefit of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after every tenant turnover.
