Could you make this work with a tile?

This requires BLE device to broadcast your public key in special packets.

I don’t think you can upload custom logic on Tile to make it broadcast arbitrary BLE packets.

Not really, but perhaps someone could make one based on a cheap Nordic NRF51823 or NRF5832. Actually, a quick search shows that you can already buy exactly that (even with Apple compatibility built in).
