NFC, RFID, Smartcard Reader

I am currently developing a pice of Software that has to be very secure. Therefore I am thinking of multiple factor authentication.
Is there yet any NFC, RFID or Smartcard reader proven to work with livecode? (Either by serial Port or Externals)
Thanks for your help.

A simpler method would be just to use a USB Flash Drive with an encrypted key on it.
We used to call them "dongles".
Seems to me an RFID is still a physical device that can be lost or stolen.

Hey Simon,
Can you send me one of those USB Flash Drives that you have that can't be lost or stolen

I'm always losing mine.
Sorry, Sebast3, but I personally don't know of any device reader examples out there. But I do know that there is an Arduino tool on RevOnline (under User Samples in the LC Menu) that might get help you - possibly! Might be worth talking with Thomas McGrath about it.
Cheers,
Dave

errr... what I meant was they were both as vulnerable as each other but the USB was easier to implement.
