When the key is switched on, the chip sends an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle.

Instead of sending out the same frequency signal as traditional key fobs, smart keys emit different encrypted signals each time they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. The computer in your car recognizes the changing frequencies, and will only allow the car to start when the correct key is found.
A BMW smart key, for example features a small LCD color touchscreen on it that performs the usual functions of a regular key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start), but also gives you the ability to store individual driver settings, turn off sunroofs and windows, and even command your car to auto park from the key. These kinds of features makes smart keys stand apart from their conventional counterparts.
Despite this added layer of security, there are still ways that smart keys can be compromised. If someone close to you picks up the low-frequency transmissions between your smart keys and your car, while you are away, such as at a restaurant or gas station, they can gain access to your car (or at the very least, attempt to).
The positive side is that many smart keys have batteries that can begin to function when the main battery fails. Furthermore, a lot of smart key batteries are easy to replace and usually don't require any special tools.
