This triggers the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips were designed to deter car thieves This is the reason they are present in a majority of modern automobiles.

Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft incoming were friendly or hostile.

Proximity keys are the most recent keyless entry technologies that are becoming popular in a variety vehicles. They allow drivers to unlock their cars by touching the door handle with the key fob in their pocket or bag. The key fob then communicates with the car, disengaging the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to begin.

A locksmith or a dealership will need to replace it, which can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, so they will need to be replaced regularly.

A keyless entry system operates by sending encrypted signals to the receiver inside the car. The receiver then interprets the signal and unlocks or starts the engine.

Although most keyless entry systems are safe, some are vulnerable to attacks. For example a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and then sent back to the device at a later time. This can be avoided by creating an algorithm for the keyless entry system, which ensures that each transmission is distinct from the previous ones.
