FWIW, do you know about Knock? Uses BTLE to pair to an iPhone; physical control of both allows you to log into the Mac. Sorta similar to Chrome OS Smart Unlock with Android 5.0.
Yup. Quite fun project. I'm an Android guy myself, though, so I'd have to wait until they release a version for my phone.
I'm not endorsing Knock (or Smart Unlock) as safe--and by most accounts Knock has some issues, esp. after a reboot--but IMHO pairing with a phone is probably safer than using an NFC tag, and the smart phone is certainly capable enough to emulate a smart card.
The thing is, I have an NFC implant. It would have been fun to make use of it :) Henrik
