coded keys

Coded keys are physical or digital keys that contain embedded information or electronic components, making them more secure than traditional keys. They often require a specific code, pattern, or electronic signal to operate locks or systems. Examples include smart keys with chip technology or keys that use encrypted patterns recognized by a locking mechanism. This coding enhances security by preventing unauthorized duplication or access, as only correctly programmed or coded keys can unlock the associated system. Essentially, coded keys add an extra layer of protection by integrating identifiable, secure information beyond a simple physical shape.
