Transponder Keys
Unlike flat metal keys that operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder technology it sends an informational low-level message to the receiver that is located near the ignition switch. This triggers the engine to start, provided that it is programmed to it. Transponder chips were created to prevent car thieves, which is why they are in use in many modern vehicles.
Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when codes 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, transponder keys are standard on most new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted to older models.

However, this isn't completely foolproof and some people have discovered ways to fool the transponder system, such as kits and tutorials that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.
Proximity keys
Proximity keys are among the most recent keyless entry solutions, which are becoming popular on a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be put in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob communicates with the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allowing it to start.
However proximity key systems have some drawbacks. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the car. A locksmith or the dealership will need to replace it, and this could be costly. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they'll have to be replaced from time to time.
Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll have to be within a certain distance of the vehicle to activate it.
Despite these disadvantages the proximity keys are a fantastic invention for those who wish to prevent locking themselves out of their vehicles. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always have a backup key in the event of an emergency. If you require a new key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.

For example the term replay attack refers to when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then 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 every transmission is distinct from previous ones.
