A key fob is a device made up of a computer chip and a metal shell. When it gets close to an reader on the fob, copper coils on both sides of the fob energize and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred into the microcomputer within the fob. It then transmits an unique number that acts as your identity credential.
The key fob will then be shown to the reader so that the information stored in the memory can be matched. This process, commonly referred to "key-matching", is used by the security system of the vehicle in order to verify that the owner is authorized. When the keys are matched to the reader, they will be in a position to start the car and unlock the doors.
