The classic metal keys can be copied easily but the issue is that the electronic part of a key-fob must be matched to a specific vehicle in order to work.

The transponder signal from the key are picked up by the receiver near the ignition. This receiver decodes the serial numbers that are generated by the transmission. If the numbers match, the car starts. Most cars built in the past two decades use transponder keys. They are also used in airplanes. ATC uses them to identify friendly aircraft by using an encoded signal known as IFF (Identification friend or foe). Some airplanes are equipped with mode C or mode S transponders that transmit the identifying codes and altitude to ATC. They also provide collision avoidance systems.

Hackers are still able to hack these codes and use keys to start your vehicle. To solve this problem the DST80 was designed with a longer sequence to make it more difficult to guess. Unfortunately researchers were able get around this. As such, it's important to keep your key fob in your purse when you're not using it.
