A key fob is a device that is made up of a computer chip as well as a metal shell. When the fob is in proximity to an electronic reader the copper coils on both sides of it energize and turn the radio frequency signal into electricity. This energy is then transferred to the microcomputer inside the fob, and it transmits an individual number that serves as your identification credential.
