that is called a smart card reader. See

There are two kinds, contact and contactless that you just have to
hover over the reader.  The contactless cost more.

Do you at least have some docs of this form?

Chip-card protocols: T=0, T=1, S=8, S=9, S=10. Software interface:
CT-Api, PC/SC, OCF

When you install the keyboard, look in the control panel for the
reader driver. What info can you glean?

Do you know how to use Wireshark? Snoop to see what website it goes to
fetch the driver when you first plug in the keyboard.

Flip the keyboard over. See if there is a model number or
manufacturer.

Have you asked the big government org for the docs on how to write
software for this beast?
