Ethernom is a small technology company based in Carlsbad, California, operating in the computers and electronics manufacturing sector. It develops biometric smart cards centered on a compact, highly integrated System on Chip designed for ultra-low power operation. The on-card chip handles fingerprint enrollment and matching, cryptography, display controls, and power management, with plans to integrate BLE and NFC in the future, supporting three-factor authentication that combines biometric verification, EMV, and a PIN. The design emphasizes tamper resistance, consolidating critical functions into a single hardware component to securely store information. Its target market includes applications requiring secure biometric authentication for payments and identity workflows. A notable development is the April 2021 partnership with Nesten, an IoT company focused on tokens and blockchain networks, signaling collaboration beyond traditional card use cases.
