Transponder Keys
Unlike flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When the key is inserted into a vehicle that utilizes transponder tech the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars and that is why they are present in a majority of modern automobiles.
Transponder technology was first utilized in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new cars are equipped with them, and they're also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry technology, and are now being used on a variety vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket, or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser, allowing the engine to start.

A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they will need to be periodically replaced.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding a spare key outside the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing a keyless entry system. These systems sync to back-end programs and allow landlords to keep track of entry and exit. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to access the property in case in the event of a crisis.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then detects the signal and then unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect the presence of a driver and adjust vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. For example, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.
Some keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they're generally extremely secure. For instance the term replay attack refers to where the original remote control signal is recorded and sent again to the device at a later date. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system, which ensures that each transmission is distinct from previous ones.
Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it does not require changing locks after every tenant turnover. It is expensive to change locks for every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords stay away from this expense as much as possible. With a keyless system, all you need to do is reset the code. This is a lot faster and simpler than replacing the lock.
