In March, 2001, we put forward our new management strategy as a stepping stone to growth for the next generation. Its particular emphasis was in the establishment of an "information security business", to take centre stage as part of the infrastructure for the new century's Internet society. Now, information security has become a vital component in every system. In our information security business we embarked on an easy to implement and effective security solution. We have built upon customer-driven proposals while eyeing cooperation with and complementing of other systems. We do not simply offer in-house security products. We also support proposals for systems with built in security functions for our customers, and especially technology that puts into practice the fraud and crime prevention in internal information systems. The technologies supporting these protections are C4 cipher and Digital Forensics.


In recent years, with the growing popularity of digital technology and the Internet, network services have expanded markedly. The risks associated with that have also increased and there seems to be no end to news about the leaks of personal information. Cryptographic technology is the technology that has become the basis for ensuring the confidentiality and tamper-proof condition of electronic information and electronic authentication. Even if the database of information is stolen due to an unauthorised access, if it is encrypted it can never be read. Since this is an absolutely essential technology in ensuring information security, cryptography is becoming indispensable in a network society where the importance of safety and crisis management is increasing."C4" has not only made possible implementation by portable telephone but can also accomodate multi-platforms etc. As an ideal cryptic technology it has combined into reality high speed, safety and versatility."C4" makes possible even further advances into the next generation of cryptic technology.


Due to the current popularity of computers and digital equipment, the incidence of leaks of personal and classified information, and fraudulent accounting have all increased. The security of digital data has certainly come to have some kind of relevance. The need has grown for proof of the perpetuation of particular digital data and for thorough investigation and analysis regarding falsification of data and defamation. These methods and their field of application are collectively referred to as "digital forensics". At Focus Systems, we continue to offer applications in the new security field of digital forensics, for everything in a broad range from networks to computer terminals.
