Transponder Keys
Unlike 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 the key is inserted into a vehicle equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits an insignificant 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 were developed to prevent car thieves, which is why they are present in a majority of modern cars.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they are commonplace on new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If your car is equipped with this security feature, you should always carry an extra key in case of emergency, since the chip will only work effectively if it's scanned. It's not foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. They include kits and tutorials that explain how to disable the transponder by using wires and electrical relays.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of hiding keys in the home are over, and landlords can offer tenants better security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synchronized with back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor the process of entry and exit. These systems also allow tenants who are in crisis to enter the property.
Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. It will automatically close the door if, for example the driver has a bag in his hands.
Certain keyless entry systems can be prone to attacks, even though they're generally very safe. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal from the device is recorded, and then transmitted again at a later time. However, this can be prevented by incorporating into the keyless entry system an algorithm that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.
Keyless entry systems also has the advantage that it does not require you to replace locks each when a tenant leaves. It is expensive to change locks after every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords avoid this cost as much as they can. Moreover with a keyless access system the only thing that is required is resetting the key, which is faster and less costly than replacing the entire lock.
