I don't have one to take apart sadly, but I'd put any amount of money on it being some form of NFC (or at least RFID more broadly). As for scanning it via a phone, my assumption is that most phones will only permit communication with certain types of devices that are considered safe - other phones, payment machines, maybe generic tags/cards. I don't think regular smartphones can act as general purpose NFC readers (though I might be wrong)! Either way, if you did manage to read a WRB you'd probably just end up with a garbled mess of data which only the SworDriver's software knows how to interpret.
That said, if you had a few different WRBs to cross-reference, you could potentially try to decode some features of the data... the kind of project I'd love to play around with if I had the time lol
