Yes, but realistically, nobody is going to get a hardware CCID reader with the required security level and connect it to their computer anymore (assuming they even have one – for more and more people, their smartphone is their main and sometimes only computing device they own).

What might work today is a Bluetooth-capable smartcard reader with a PIN pad and display for secure transaction confirmation ("enter your PIN to open a bank account with bank xyz" vs "enter your PIN to confirm that you own a valid driver's license for the purpose of renting a car" etc.), but even that is a stretch and will probably only ever see very low adoption.

It would be great to have it as an option supported by the official reader app, though!
