    摘要: A system (10) and method of evidencing postage payment includes a data center (3) with a database (36) having a plurality of meter records (64) stored therein. Each meter record (64) includes meter information corresponding to a metering account assigned to each of a plurality of remote user devices (20, 22) that are authorized to request evidence of postage payment. When a request for postage (100) is received at the data center (30), a secure co-processor device (44) in the data center (3) obtains the appropriate meter record (64) and verifies the authenticity of the meter record (64) by verifying a signature (205, 210) in the meter record (64) and comparing freshness data (220, 225) in the meter record (64) to freshness data in the secure device (44). If verified, the secure device (44) then accounts for an amount of postage to be evidenced (130), generates evidence of postage payment (130) and updates the meter information, including the freshness data (130), in the meter record (64). The secure device (44) then signs the updated meter information and stores the signature in the meter record (64, 135, 140). The secure device (44) then returns the updated meter record (64) to the database (36, 135, 140).

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for providing postal items with postal prepayment impressions, characterized in that data are generated in the customer system that are encrypted in such a manner that the value transfer center is able to decrypt them. To this end, the data are transmitted from the customer system to the value transfer center. The value transfer center then decrypts the data and re-encrypts them with a code not known to the customer system and transmits the encrypted data to the customer system.

    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). A refill message includes a second signature and a 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.
