摘要:
A media content printing method that includes storing encrypted media content data representing media content in a computing device (8), generating a file of print commands that include the encrypted media content data non-encrypted commands for printing the media content based on the encrypted media content data, and sending the file of print commands to an intermediate device (10) that stores a cryptographic key. The method further includes sending the non-encrypted commands to a printing device (14), determining if the media content is authorized to be printed, and decrypting the encrypted media content data in the intermediate electronic device (10) that corresponds to the authorized media content to produce decrypted media content data. The decrypted media content data is sent to the printing device (14) for printing the media content based on the non-encrypted commands and the decrypted media content
摘要:
A system and method and related computer readable media for creating a system of linked documents. The method includes: storing a file, the file including a document and being linked to a macro, on a data processing system, the data processing system having an operating system; the operating system controlling the data processing system to execute the macro in response to a predetermined trigger event; and the macro controlling the data processing system to inspect other files and link selected ones of the other files to the stored file in accordance with predetermined criteria. The macro can be stored centrally, either on the data processing system or on a network, and the stored file linked to the macro by a pointer; or the macro can be incorporated in the stored file. The predetermined criteria are derived in accordance with values of predetermined data elements of the document, and the other files includes keywords and the macro controls the data processing system to inspect the keywords and list the one of the other files if the keywords meet the predetermined criteria. Alternatively, the other files are selected from the listed files after inspection of the other files' full contents in accordance with the predetermined criteria. The operating system can include a virtual machine and the macro can be expressed in executable code for the virtual machine. The trigger event can be the creation or input of a new file on the data processing system.

A method for transmitting a key from a first device to a remotely located second device includes the steps of generating the key within the first device; selecting one of a plurality of one-time pad values from a one-time pad stored within the first device; creating a hash of at least the key and the selected one of the plurality of one-time pad values; and sending the hash and the key from the first device to the second device.
摘要:
A production mail system (300) for producing a mailpiece (301) including an inserter system (300) for feeding a document in a path of travel and into an envelope (20). The document includes a control code (82) printed thereon. The inserter includes a scanner located adjacent the path of travel for reading the control code on the document and a printer for printing a selected message on the envelope (20) corresponding to the control code (82).
摘要:
A secure and reliable method for verifying in the host system that the expected PSD is coupled to the host system includes generating a random number in the host system and encrypting the random number with a PSD state identification number. The encrypted random number is then sent to the PSD. The PSD decrypts the encrypted random number received using the PSD state identification number and sends the decrypted random number to the host system. The host system compares the decrypted random number received from the PSD to the random number generated in the host system. If they are the same, the host system has verified the expected PSD and has also verified that the PSD has not completed any transactions apart from the host system. A method for verifying that the expected host is coupled to the PSD mirrors the method for verifying the expected PSD.
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 system and method include means for processing a cryptographic certificate adapted to provide security functionality. A register means (244) is provided and means (224) for adjusting the register means to account for services when the cryptographic certificate is processed. The register means may be for storing funds. Means are provided for processing a digital token providing proof of postage payment and means are also provided for processing a cryptographic certificate adapted to provide security functionality. Funds stored in the register means are debited when the digital token is processed and when the cryptographic certificate is processed. Processing the cryptographic certificate may involve many functions such as providing security services and/or certificate management functions (including generating and verifying cryptographic certificates) and/or key management functions and/or access to any needed private keys to perform security services. Processing the digital token may include generating the digital token or issuing the digital token.
