Transponder Keys
Unlike flat metal keys that work mechanically using cuts on the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip embedded in their key heads. When the key is put into a vehicle that utilizes transponder technology the chip transmits an unintentional message to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to begin, in the event that it has been programmed for it. Transponder chips are designed to stop theft of cars This is the reason that most modern vehicles have them.
Transponder technology was first used in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, transponder keys are present on all new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.
If your vehicle has this kind of security, then it is recommended to always have a spare key on hand, as the chip can only function properly if it's been scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have found ways to trick the transponder system, including tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity Keys are among the latest technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket.

With a traditional key it's when you press the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll have to be within a certain distance from the vehicle to activate it.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys in the home are long gone and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are connected to a back-end program and permit landlords to monitor entrance and exit. Furthermore these systems make it simpler for tenants to get into the property in case there is a need to enter the property in case of emergency.
Keyless entry works by sending encrypted signals to a receiver inside the car. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks your car or starts it. It can also detect a driver's presence and adjust the car's settings according to their preferences. For example, if the driver is carrying a bag in their hands, it will detect this and automatically close the doors.
Certain keyless entry systems may be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally very secure. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and transmitted again at a later point. This can be avoided by using an algorithm in the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.
