Cryptologists at Johns Hopkins University have found a way to crack the
code stored in millions of car keys. The car security system sold by
Texas Instruments involves a transponder chip embedded in the key and a

receiver in the car has to identify. If there is a mismatch then the
car will not start irrespective of whether the key is correct or not.
