What kind of hardware engineer are you? Every hardware engineer I've ever worked with over 30+ years would have known enough to have a good stab at the answer to this question or at least ask a better question. Do you work with digital or analogue devices? This is a serious question as you have not given us a clue to what environment this security device runs in which most engineers would know is essential information.

As usual, it depends.

The choice of language would depend on the target environment (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, etc.), and on the requirements.

If you are writing a low-level driver, C is probably the best (and sometimes - the only) choice.
If your application requires a GUI, you might consider writing the graphical part in C# (on Windows), Java (on Android), etc., and writing the low-level part in C or C++.
If it requires a Web interface, you will probably need to learn HTML, javascript, or other Web languages.

Good luck!

Yes, you could. The C or C++ part should be written as a DLL, and you could then call it from a C# program.

A quick Google of "Calling a C++ DLL from C#" should give you plenty of information on how to do this.
