The traditional keys made of metal are easy to copy, but the real problem is that the electronic part of a key fob needs to be matched with a specific car in order for the key to function. This matching is performed in the car's computer modules and are referred to as CIM (Column Integration Module) or TWICE (Theft Warning Integrated Central Electronics).

The transponder signals that the key emits are detected by the receiver near the ignition. The receiver is able to decode the serial numbers of the transmission. If the number is in line the car's number, it will start. Most cars manufactured in the past two decades use transponder keys.

They are also used on airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft using the IFF signal, which is a coded signal. (Identification friend or foe).

Hackers are still able to crack these codes and use keys to start your vehicle. To combat this issue the DST80 was created with a longer sequence in order to make it more difficult to guess. Researchers also managed to crack it. It is essential to keep your keyfob in your pocket, even when not in use.
