Transponder
Before transponder key technology was widely used in automobiles, it was relatively easy for thieves to rob an automobile. They could force the ignition switch to turn on, and start your vehicle. This is however not possible anymore since most modern vehicles have an anti-theft feature that incorporates an encryption chip embedded in the key.
The microchip inside the key is a miniature device that is non-volatile (meaning that it doesn't erase when power is cut) memory. The chip has a unique serial number that is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When you insert the key into the ignition, the chip sends this password to the receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is correct, your vehicle will start and you'll be on your way.
