Transponder keys are often found in newer vehicles. They feature an RFID microchip that sends a unique code for the car when the key is inserted into the ignition.

When the transponder key is inserted in the ignition, it sends a signal to the chip in the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). The ECU determines if the code on the key matches the digital serial number of the ECU. If it does, the ECU disables the immobilizer in order to allow the engine to start. If the code isn't matched with the ECU will block the signal and prevent the engine from getting started.
