Volkswagen car keys, or fobs, have an encoded transponder, which sends an information to the vehicle that matches the unique code contained in the ignition. The vehicle can utilize this information via an onboard procedure to authorize the key and start the engine.

They are also utilized in satellite communications to send information to other devices on the spacecraft. They are used by air traffic control to transmit information between planes and provide information about the location and altitude of an aircraft.
