Transponder Keys
Instead of flat metal keys that operate mechanically by cutting the top and bottom, transponder (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) keys are equipped with an electronic microchip in their key heads. When they are fitted into a car that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver that is located close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to stop car thieves from stealing cars This is the reason they are found in the majority of modern automobiles.
Transponder technology was first introduced in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, the majority of new vehicles come equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that are retrofitted to include them.
If your car is equipped with this security feature, you must always have a spare key on hand, as the chip will only work properly if it is scanned. However, this isn't completely foolproof and some have found ways to trick the transponder system. This includes tutorials and kits that show how to bypass it with electrical relays and wiring.

A keyless entry system transmits encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to suit their preferences. It will automatically shut the door, for instance, the driver has an item in his bag.
While most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are susceptible to attack. A replay attack, for example, is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and sent again at a later date. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from the previous ones.
