Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits that are embedded in your key and communicate with the immobilizer. When the key is turned on, the chip sends an identification code to the Body Control Module (BCM) of the vehicle. If that ID code matches the one in the BCM's memory, then the immobilizer is disabled and the engine starts. If the ID code does not match the security light won't be lit and the car will not start.
Transponders aren't invincible. Car thieves have come up with ways to get around anti-theft systems over the years. A spare key that has an active transponder can aid in stopping this.

Instead of broadcasting the same frequency like traditional keys, smart keys transmit different encrypted signals every when they unlock doors remotely or open the trunk. A computer inside your vehicle is able to recognize these changing frequencies and only allows it to begin if the correct key matches the new signal.
A BMW smart key, for example is equipped with a tiny LCD touchscreen that performs the standard functions of a standard key fob (locking and unlocking, as well as keyless start) It also gives you the capability to save individual driver settings, switch off sunroofs or windows, and even instruct your car to auto park inside the key. fiat key are distinguished by these features.
Smart keys aren't 100% secure. If someone in your vicinity receives low-frequency signals between your smart key, and your vehicle, even when you are away, for example 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 come with battery backups that start when the main battery is dead. Many smart key batteries are easily replaced and don't usually require specialized tools.
