Transponder Keys

Contrary to the flat metal keys which are mechanically operated with cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When they are placed in a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft, which is why most modern cars have them.

During World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies to determine whether an aircraft was hostile or friendly. The same idea was later applied to car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry technologies, which are becoming more popular on a number of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob, which is kept in their pocket or bag.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It also can detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally extremely secure. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and sent again at a later time.
