    摘要: A system and method is provided for refilling a postage metering system (100) that includes a host (114) coupled to a postal security device (PSD) (112). A user enters a first request for postage refill which is transmitted to a meter server (120). The meter server (120) transmits a request for a PSD audit to the postage metering system (100). PSD audit data is signed with a first secret key stored in the PSD (112) to produce an audit message that includes a first signature and the PSD audit data. The audit message is transmitted to the meter server (120) which transmits the first signature to a key management system (130) which then verifies the first signature using a second secret key stored in the key management system (130). The PSD audit data is verified at the meter server (120) which then constructs a second request for meter refill and transmits it to a meter recharging data center (140). The meter recharging data center (140) generates a refill combination and transmits it to the meter server (120). The refill combination is transmitted from the meter server (120) to the key management system (130) for signature using the second secret key to produce a refill message that is transmitted to the meter server (120). The refill message includes a second signature and the refill combination. The refill message is transmitted to the PSD (112) which verifies the signature and the refill combination using the first secret key and credits the PSD (112) for the amount.

    摘要: A method of issuing digital tokens in a open system meter comprising the steps of:

    sending a request for digital tokens and predetermined postal information, including addressee information, from a host processor to a vault that is operatively coupled to the host processor;
    calculating in the vault in response to the request for tokens at least one digital token using the predetermined postal information;
    debiting postal funds in the vault;
    issuing the digital token to the host processor; and
    storing the digital token and the predetermined postal information as a transaction record in the host processor for subsequent generation and printing of an indicia.

    摘要: A method and system for postage payment include the generation of a plurality of dispensable discrete items of encrypted data. Each of said items of encrypted data, which may be digital tokens (332, 342), has a specific value. The generated plurality of discrete items of encrypted data are stored on a portable medium (104). A prepayment value (346) is also stored on the portable medium. The stored plurality of discrete items of encrypted which are dispensable is limited based on the prepayment value stored on the portable medium. The medium may be a device or member having memory means (304) for storing a plurality of dispensable tokens. Mean (302) account for digital tokens dispensed from the memory means.
    The portable member or device (104) may have a housing with a register means within said housing. The postage prepayment value is stored in the register (346). The plurality of discrete items of encrypted data is stored in the housing with each of the items of encrypted data adapted to be formatted for printing. Means within said housing are coupled to the plurality of discrete items of encrypted data and to said prepayment register for enabling at least one selected item of encrypted data to be communicated outside of the housing if the value stored in register is at least equal to the specific value of the selected item of encrypted data.
