Transponder Keys
Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip embedded in their heads. When they are inserted into a vehicle that is equipped with transponder technology the chip transmits a low-level signal to a receiver close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to transmit this signal, it will cause the engine to turn on. Transponder chips are designed to protect cars from theft which is why a majority of modern vehicles have them.
During World War II, coded messages were broadcast over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985 for its Corvette. Since then, they’ve become used on the majority of new vehicles, and can also be retrofitted into older models.

Certain keyless entry systems can be vulnerable to attacks even though they are generally very secure.
