Could you build this?

No Emulating an NFC/smart card device on iPhone to communicate seamlessly with macOS hardware authentication demands specialized low-level Apple CoreNFC, Bluetooth Low Energy/APDU protocol reverse engineering, and native macOS security extensions.

What it would actually take: The architecture involves an iOS app utilizing CoreNFC and background CoreBluetooth alongside a macOS companion app/PAM module or CryptoTokenKit extension. The hard parts include handling APDU ISO 7816 smart card protocol frames, low-latency secure BLE handshakes, and integrating with macOS LocalAuthentication/PAM subsystems without Apple private API rejections. This requires specialized macOS/iOS systems security and hardware protocol engineering.
