摘要:
A method of manufacturing a secure box in a Key Management System (10) that includes a plurality of functionally distinct secure boxes initializes a first manufacturing box it one does not exist. The method creates in a manufacturing box at least one logical security domain including encryption keys needed to perform Key Management System processes within the domain, and provides a target secure box with the capability to perform at least one Key Management System function from a plurality of functions required by the Key Management System. The method authenticates the target secure box to the manufacturing box, installs a unique secure box identification in the target secure box, and creates at least one logical security domain in the target secure box corresponding to a logical security domain in the manufacturing box. The method sends a command from a Key Management System computer (24) to initialize the target secure box to perform a domain process for at least one of Key Management System functions provided within the target secure box, and initializes the target secure box in each domain process indicated in the command from the Key Management System computer (24). The method installs in the target secure box the encryption keys required to perform a key generation process within the domain. For example, target secure box may be provided with at least one of a key verification function, a key installation function, a token verification function, a key registration function, or a secure box manufacturing function.

A network connectivity device (12) that when coupled to a mail processing machine (10) enables a cloud application running on a personal computer (16) or other device to interface with and control the mail processing machine (10) without requiring any software to be installed on the personal computer (16) other than a web browser. The network connectivity device (12) plugs into a standard USB port on the mail processing machine (10) to allow wired or wireless connectivity to a network (14). There is no software or other code required to run on the personal computer (16) other than a standard web browser running a hosted web application. The network connectivity device (12) allows the mail processing machine (10) to be found and addressed by the hosted web application. This allows a user to control operations of the mail processing machine (10), as well as giving the mail processing machine network connectivity for outside world communication activities.
摘要:
A control system (200) for a mailing machine includes a user interface having a display, a memory (202) having a screen region (204), a plurality of screens (206) stored within the screen region and a control program for displaying the plurality of screens on the display and for controlling the operation of the mailing machine, Each of the plurality of screens (206) has pre-function data (208b) and background function data (208c), respectively. The pre-function data includes image data relating to a screen image for display. The control program uses the pre-function data to identify a pre-function to be executed before displaying the screen image and uses the background function data to identify a background function to be executed during the display of the screen image.
