摘要： A contaminant detection system for mail is provided. A tray of mailpieces is transported along a transport path into a chamber that has a negative pressure maintained by a vacuum system. The tray of mail enters the chamber and is quickly decelerated, such as, for example, by hitting a stop. The quick deceleration compresses the mailpieces in the tray, thereby ejecting air, dust and other particles from the mailpieces into the surrounding environment inside of the chamber. The vacuum system draws the ejected air, dust and other particles into a sampling system that monitors for the presence of a possible biohazard. If any type of contaminant is found in the ejected air, dust and other particles, the tray can be held for further investigation of the mailpieces. If no contaminants are detected, the tray is accepted and the mailpieces are further processed.

摘要： A method and system for reading a two-dimensional barcode symbol on a mailpiece. The barcode symbol may be distorted during the printing process or the image acquiring process, rendering it difficult to recognize by a conventional template matching method. Typically, a two-dimensional barcode symbol is composed on a two-dimensional array of visually contrasting blocks. Any group of four adjacent blocks sharing a common corner may form an identifiable pattern. These patterns can be used as internal landmarks. When the barcode symbol is distorted, the distances between the internal landmarks change accordingly. Using an Lp-norm algorithm to measure the distances in the transform domain, distortion can thus be determined and the global geometry of the barcode symbol restored based on the distance measurements.
摘要翻译：一种用于读取邮件上二维条形码符号的方法和系统。条形码符号在打印过程或图像获取过程中可能失真，使得难以通过常规模板匹配方法识别。通常，二维条形码符号在视觉对比块的二维阵列上组成。共享共同角落的四个相邻块的任何组可以形成可识别的模式。这些模式可以用作内部地标。当条形码符号失真时，内部地标之间的距离相应变化。使用Lp范数算法来测量变换域中的距离，因此可以确定失真，并且基于距离测量恢复条形码符号的全局几何形状。

摘要： The present invention provides a method for verifying an unreadable information-based indium that has been generated by a postal security device (PSD) for information-based indium comprising a 2-D bar code, certain human-readable information, a digital signature and a certificate. The method comprises the steps of attempting to read the 2-D bar code using sophisticated digital image processing when the 2-D bar code is not readable; and continuing normal processing when the 2-D bar code is readable with the sophisticated digital image processing. When the 2-D bar code is not readable two independent processes are used to determine the indicium certificate. A first process includes reading human readable information by optical character recognition using context, syntax, and redundancy in the human readable information to obtain a PSD-ID; and using the PSD-ID to look up in a certificate database a certificate corresponding to the information-based indicium. A second process includes interpreting partial bar code data and extracting a “best guess” of the certificate and searching the certificate database for the closest matching certificate. The method further comprises merging data obtained from the two processes and attempting to reconstruct bar code data from the merged data. If the merged data is sufficient, an attempt is made to verify the digital signature obtained from the merged data. If the signature is verified, normal processing is resumed. If the merged data is insufficient or if the signature is not verified, a suspect mailpiece record is created.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种用于验证由用于基于信息的铟的邮政安全设备（PSD）生成的不可读信息的铟的方法，其包括二维条形码，某些人类可读信息，数字签名和证书。该方法包括以下步骤：当2-D条形码不可读时，尝试使用复杂的数字图像处理来读取2-D条形码; 并且当复杂的数字图像处理可读取2-D条形码时，继续正常处理。当二维条形码不可读时，两个独立进程用于确定标记证书。第一过程包括通过使用人类可读信息中的上下文，语法和冗余的光学字符识别来读取人类可读信息以获得PSD-ID; 并使用PSD-ID在证书数据库中查找与基于信息的标记相对应的证书。第二个过程包括解释部分条形码数据并提取证书的“最佳猜测”，并在证书数据库中搜索最接近的匹配证书。该方法还包括合并从两个处理获得的数据，并尝试从合并的数据重建条形码数据。如果合并的数据足够，则尝试验证从合并的数据中获得的数字签名。如果签名被验证，则恢复正常处理。如果合并的数据不足或签名未被验证，则创建可疑的邮件记录。

摘要： A method for controlled acceptance mail accounting and evidencing, includes creating a mail batch including at least one mail piece having an encrypted indicia printed thereon. The encrypted indicia is generated by the use of a key K.sub.m. A statement of mailing file is created containing data related to the mail batch. The statement of mailing file including the key K.sub.m is encrypted with a public key of an authentication unit of a carrier distribution system. The public key has an associated private key. The mail batch and the statement of mailing file is submitted to the carrier distribution system and the mail batch and the mail documentation file is processed using the private key of the authentication unit of the carrier distribution system to decrypt the encrypted information and recover the K.sub.m. The key K.sub.m is then used in an authentication procedure related to the mail batch. The statement of mailing file may be sent in tangible form or in electronic form to the carrier distribution system. A plurality of public keys of a plurality of authentication units may be available for encryption of the statement of mailing file including the key K.sub.m. The encryption process may be implemented separately with different public keys of different authentication units when it is not yet determined which authentication unit will perform the processing. This provides greater flexibility in the selection of the authentication unit to process the mail and achieve systems efficiency.

摘要： System and method for securely backing up and reliably retrieving vault data in a metering system that includes a host processor operatively coupled to a vault. Whenever a transaction is completed by the vault, the vault cryptographically signs the vault data, including ascending register, descending register and piece count and sends the cryptographically signed vault data to the host processor where it is stored in a data file assigned to the vault. Each storage of the cryptographically signed vault data is indexed to create a historical log of vault transactions. If the vault is lost or damaged so that vault data cannot be retrieved from the vault, the cryptographically signed vault data is retrieved from the host processor data file and verified.

摘要： A method for controlling keys used in the verification of encoded information generated by a transaction evidencing device and printed on a document comprises the steps of generating a plurality of random verifier master keys to obtain a set of verifier master keys consisting of a fixed number of keys; generating at least one pointer by applying a psuedorandom algorithm to data unique to the transaction evidencing device; calculating a plurality of verifier token keys to obtain a verifier token key set corresponding to the set of verifier master keys; encrypting the verifier token key set with a privacy key; and distributing the set verifier token keys and the privacy key to verifiers. The token keys are a function of the verifier master keys and a code valid for a limited time. The pointer algorithm is an appropriate symmetric key cryptographic algorithm and the code is function of a date dependent parameter. The master keys are distributed to postal and vendor data centers.

摘要： A method for mail payment evidencing includes processing a collation of mail where the collation is one of a series of mail collations being created. Payment rating parameters are determined for carrier services to be associated with the mail collation in process. It is determined if a previously generated digital token associated with a previous mail collation which was not completed is suitable for use on said mail collation in process. The previously generated digital token is utilized for the mail collation in process if the previously generated digital token is suitable for use on said mail collation in process. The created mail collations may be submitted to a carrier service with a digitally signed statement of mailing.
