Transponder
Before transponder keys was commonplace in cars, it was fairly easy for thieves cars. They could just push the ignition switch to the on position and start it up. However, this is no longer feasible as modern cars come with an anti-theft device that has an electronic security chip inside the key.
The microchip in the key is a miniaturized device with non-volatile (meaning that it does not erase when power is cut) memory. The chip is equipped with a unique serial number, which is used as the "password" to turn on the engine. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the chip transmits this password to the receiver in your car's immobilizer. If the code is correct, the car will start up and you'll be on your way.
