Key fobs are tiny device that is made up of a computer chip, a battery and a metal key shell. When it comes close to an reader on the fob, copper coils on both sides of the fob are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity.

The key fob will be displayed to the reader, to ensure that the number stored in the memory can be compared.
