Chelsfield Access Control System Available Second Quarter 2010
Chelsfield Solutions software for public access control is scheduled for initial testing and trial during the second quarter 2010. The system is aimed at two main markets the first being an inexpensive "Front of House" system aimed at SME's and the second is to provide a lower cost offering for firms needing higher security for its personnel and on-site contractors.

To begin with the new system will accept most standard peripherals such as cameras, card and barcode readers. Later, an ever wider range of physical barrier access devices is expected to be added to the catalogue. Currently Chelsfield is in negotiation with two London based organisations for potential exclusive distribution rights to VAR's

The Need for Encryption - Is the Penny Finally Dropping?
UK Government departments and corporate industry are still failing to apply adequate standards for data security. Details of nearly 100 cases of data breaches, two thirds committed by government departments or other public sector bodies have been passed to the authorities, said Richard Thomas the UK Information Commissioner. 

Chelsfield security systems can work in the background, this overcomes the essential problem which is that staff are mostly unaware of how sensitive data can leak out, or what needs to be done to prevent it. Education is also a key factor, inadequate security management and awareness of how personal information can be used to forge authentication to provide illegal access to sensitive data is also lacking.

A new chairman of the Information Commission, Christopher Graham, was appointed in June of this year. Since then it all seems a bit quiet.  Is the penny finally dropping? - we don't think so!

Chelsfield Encryption Class Wrapper V3.0
Chelsfield Encryption Library components have been in use since 2001 by many organisations both large and small, however, these have been sold as part of bundled packages from third party software vendors.  Now though, a new initiative has been launched to make the encryption class library accessible directly to programmers at a low cost.

Encryption Class library (ECL) components are now available  through the large distribution houses such as CNET and Microsoft Marketplace but are not sold through by Chelsfield directly, unless connected to a specific development application.  Chelsfield offers direct technical support and free support is included for the first year together with any updates as soon as these are available.

Chelsfield Data Security Components used by Corporates
Recent news concerning the lack of data security by some UK government departments (including the MOD) has  prompted Chelsfield to make available a special version of its encryption library to third party software vendors.

As a consequence, these Chelsfield controls are being used by many blue chip corporate organisations,  both in the UK and aboard.  The library features a proprietary one way key hash and polymorphic transformation techniques making it a very strong stream cipher that's fast enough to be used on-the-fly in most applications.  The code is less than 70k bytes, is self contained and does not rely on the Windows API

Negotiation Starts with Canadian Aid Organisation
Chelsfield Consultants have been asked to produce mobile telephone specifications for a major Canadian aid organisation. One of the largest UK Telecoms Resellers passed an enquiry to Chelsfield to handle this part of the project. 

The requirement: 80 sets of rugged telephone systems equipment that will be deployed in aid agency camps around the world with no access to telephone land lines. Chelsfield specified compact mobile satellite terminals hooked up to rugged cordless telephones with a 300 meter range operating from a D.E.C.T. (Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephony) card in a rack based telephone system..

Chelsfield Appointed by Northampton School
From July, Chelsfield Consultants have been appointed to act as Solutions Architects for a newly built Northampton school. One of our consultants was asked to provide a telephone system specification in an unusual situation. New premises have been built for an existing large school to move into. 

However, although the five main building blocks were flooded with CAT-5 structured cabling no multicore cable had been laid linking these together. Fortunately a One Gigabyte fibre was available from the central building to the other blocks. The solution: The TDM  (Time Divisional Multiplex) Hybrid telephone system was IP-enabled and 10-Meg Ethernet switches were specified in each of the separate buildings with IP telephones located as required. This solution came out at under half the cost of laying a multicore cable.

Encryption Modules Applied new Secure Mail Client (SeE-Mail)
The advanced encryption system launched  by Chelsfield early in 2005 is being applied to a new secure e-mail client development. The program will enable secure peer to peer e-mail without the need to worry about complex setups or client configuration settings. In addition the system is completely free of malicious code such as worms, trojans, viruses and SPAM because any message without a valid signature is automatically trashed.  

The heart of the system is a new and very fast polymorphic stream cypher that is currently being used as a modular component in dozens of third party applications.  What makes this unique, is that the key hash is partly derived from the clear text of the message by a special algorithm. The message can actually be zero bytes long and yet still generate a unique 1024 bit key.

Data Protection Software Updated
The DPM-07 (Data Protection Module) is new software from Chelsfield that provides an easy facility for any person or organisation to secure any type of secret or sensitive computer data. The utility does not require any specialist knowledge of computers, encryption or file security. 

The release is a major update and whilst all encryption and functional routines are similar to the existing system, this new version is a complete re-write of the user controls. The Windows explorer style interface has been enhanced, and now supports large icon views and context menus.  Also gone are the two independent file list panels, these are replaced with a single panel that has been found to be easier to use. PowerDPM also replaces the Microsoft delete function with a proper file erase mechanism.

New Project Management and Design Consultancy Team
Chelsfield has now setup an experienced team of IT professionals who can call on the resources of large well chosen resellers, and are able to offer the following services to clients: 

Project Management, PBX replacement, LAN/WAN design, installation and restructuring, Voice over IP integration, security, contact center design including CTI, recorders and bespoke software integration, telephone call pattern analysis and design consultancy.

To start the process Chelsfield recommends a system-wide health check, this will usually show how client operating cost can be significantly reduced. Chelsfield Solutions put it this way: "Our fees can always be justified because we save the client far more than we take, besides providing them with real-world solutions that energize their business."
