Transponder Keys

Instead of flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When inserted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends an unintentional signal to a receiver situated near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to protect cars from theft This is the reason that most modern cars use them.

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

It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, the system will recognize this and close the doors.

While most keyless entry systems are safe, some are vulnerable to attack. A replay attack, for instance occurs when the remote control signal from the device is recorded and then sent again at a later date. However, this could be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method that ensures that every transmission is distinct from all previous ones.
