| Key fob | Electronic key fobs are used for remote keyless systems on motor vehicles. Early electric key fobs operated using infrared, so they needed a clear line of sight, and could be copied using a programmable remote control. More recent models use challenge-response authentication over radio frequency, so these are harder to copy and do not need line of sight to operate. (references) | ||
