Transponder Keys
Contrary to the flat metal keys which operate mechanically with cuts on the top and bottom transponder (a portmanteau of responder and transmitter) keys have an electronic microchip inside their key heads. When the key is put into an automobile equipped with transponder technology the chip sends a low-level message to a receiver located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are made to prevent car theft which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.
Transponder technology was first utilized during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if incoming aircraft were friendly or hostile. The same concept was later applied to keys for cars as well, with General Motors creating the first transponder chip keys in 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, transponder keys are used on the majority of new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.
If your car has this type of security, it is recommended to always have an extra key, as the chip will only work properly if it's been scanned. This isn't 100% secure. There are some who have discovered ways to fool this system. They include kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.
Proximity Keys
Proximity keys are the newest keyless entry innovations, which are now being used on a variety vehicles. They permit drivers to unlock their vehicles by touching the door handle with the key fob in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing for the engine to start.
However, proximity key systems have some disadvantages. If the key fob is damaged or lost, it can't be used to start the car. A locksmith or dealership will need to replace it, and this can be expensive. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they'll require to be replaced from time to time.

When using a traditional key, if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know you have the key. You'll need to be within a specific distance to activate the proximity-sensing lock.

Keyless Entry Systems
The days of storing keys that are not in the home are long gone and landlords can give tenants more security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems sync to a back-end program and permit landlords to monitor entrance and exit. These systems also allow tenants in emergency to gain access to the property.
Keyless entry works by transmitting encrypted signals to an internal receiver within the car. The receiver responds to the signal and either unlocks or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of a driver and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will detect this and close the doors.
Although most keyless entry systems are incredibly secure, some are susceptible to attack. A replay attack, for instance is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent to a different location at a later time. This can be avoided by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that ensures each transmission is unique from the previous one.
Another benefit of a keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing locks after each tenant's departure. It's costly to change locks following every turnover of a tenant, so it makes sense that landlords avoid this expense as much as is possible. Furthermore, with a keyless entry system all that is needed is resetting the code, which is a lot faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
