The traditional metal keys are simple to copy however the issue is that the electronic portion of a key fob needs to be connected to a specific car to allow the key to work.

Transponders A transponder is an electronic device inside a key-fob which emits a unique coded signal. It's a component of the immobilizer to prevent thieves from using a stolen car key to start the vehicle. The transponder signals from the keys are picked up by the receiver that is located near the ignition. The receiver is able to decode the serial numbers of the transmission. If the serial number matches, the car will begin. The majority of cars built during the past two decades use transponder keys. These are also used in aircrafts. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft by using a coded signal called IFF (Identification friend or foe). Certain aircraft have transponders in mode C or S, which transmit the identification codes and altitudes to ATC. They also have collision avoidance systems. The metal components on the standard Saab Key are easy to duplicate. However, the microchip which communicates with the immobilizer could be difficult to copy.

Immobilizers Immobilizers add another safeguard to stop thieves from hotwiring your vehicle. They prevent the engine from being started without ensuring that the transponder on the key fob is valid. The majority of vehicles with immobilizers display a warning indicator in the instrument cluster, indicating that the key isn't inside. If you have lost your key fob, you'll need to go to an authorized dealer to have it deactivated and get a replacement. These systems are based on the encryption of information between the transponder system and the car. However, recent studies have discovered that these encryption sequences are too easy for computers to crack. Hackers are able to bypass them by analyzing the messages transmitted back and forth over the CAN bus. These systems are more sophisticated than conventional immobilizers that use one fixed code. Modern versions have a system that alters or rolls codes to make the systems more secure. Hackers can still hack these codes and use keys to open your vehicle. To overcome this issue, the DST80 has an extended code that makes it more difficult to determine. Unfortunately researchers were able crack this as well. This is why it's essential to always keep your key fob in your purse when you're not using it.
