摘要： A postage evidencing system including a plurality of domains for partitioning a population of postage meters according to an operating characteristic, a data center, a postage meter in operative communication with the data center and a printer in operative communication with the postage meter. The postage meter is initialized to operate in a particular domain while the printer is capable of operating in each of the plurality of domains. To update or enable a domain in the printer, the postage meter transmits an indication of the particular domain to the data center. Then, the data center encrypts the indication and transmits the indication to the postage meter which in turn forwards the encrypted indication to the printer. The printer decrypts the encrypted indication and using the indication enables a respective domain in the printer corresponding to the particular domain of the postage meter. A method for updating domains in a postage evidencing system is also provided.

摘要： A Key Management System for generating, distributing and managing cryptographic keys used by an information transaction system that employs cryptographic means to produce evidence of information integrity. The system comprises a plurality of functionally distinct secure boxes operatively coupled to each other. Each of the secure boxes performs functions for key generation, key installation, key verification or validation of tokens. Computers, operatively coupled to the secure boxes, provide system control and facilitate communication among the secure boxes. A plurality of separate logical security domains provide domain processes for key generation, key installation, key verification and validation of tokens produced by the transaction evidencing device within the domain using the key management functions. A plurality of domain archives, corresponding respectively to each of the security domains, securely and reliably record key status records and master keys for each domain. The Key Management System installs the master keys in the transaction evidencing device and validates the tokens. The secure boxes include a key generation box for generating, encrypting and signing a master key; a key installation box for receiving, verifying and decrypting the signed master key and for installing the master key into the transaction evidencing device; a key verification box for verifying the installation of the master key in the transaction evidencing device, a token verification box for verifying the tokens, and at least one manufacturing box for generating domain keys and distributing the domain keys among the secure boxes for each of the domains.

摘要： A method of manufacturing transaction evidencing devices, such as digital postage meters, includes the steps of generating a master key in a logical security domain of a Key Management System; installing the master key into a digital postage meter; verifying the installation of the master key; and registering the master key to a logical security sub-domain in the Key Management System. The step of generating the master key further includes the steps of generating a domain; generating at least one sub-domain; installing the domain in secure boxes of the Key Management System; generating a master key and test token within the domain; and recording the master key in the domain archive. The step of installing the master key further includes the steps of installing the master key into a digital meter; and associating the master key with a unique device identifier. The step of registering the master key to a logical security sub-domain in the Key Management System further includes the steps of assigning a sub-domain to the digital meter; installing a postal identifier into the digital meter; associating the postal identifier to the unique device identifier; generating a registration token in the digital meter based on the postal identifier and the unique device identifier; generating registration tokens using the master key recorded in the archives; verifying that the registration tokens are identical; and recording the master key in the sub-domain. The steps are repeated for each domain assigned to the digital postage meter.

摘要： A method providing for programming reprogramming at least some software into flash memory of a postage machine or other mailing apparatus. The method calls for providing the software to be programmed into the flash memory in at least two builds, with one build providing kernel software that includes the functionality needed for programming/reprogramming (including functionality for linking to a personal computer by which the software to be programmed may be provided), and the other build providing non-kernel software, usually routines providing application-oriented functionality, and not essential to programming the flash memory. The first build, of the at least two builds, is written into sectors of the flash memory that are then locked. The system provides, in some applications, for writing the non-kernel software using a paging algorithm that writes several sectors worth of non-kernel software at a time. Once the programming of the kernel software is completed, at least part of the flash memory, the part hosting the non-kernel software, can be programmed or reprogrammed using the functionality provided by the kernel software. In some applications, three builds are provided, with a bare minimum of kernel software, including only a subset of flash programming utilities and routines providing for a basic serial I/O link for linking to a personal computer. In such an application, all of the operating system software, i.e. the software providing for system-level functionality of the mailing machine, is provided as a second, non-protected build, and a third build is provided including application software.
摘要翻译：一种提供用于将至少一些软件重新编程到邮资机或其他邮寄装置的闪存中的方法。该方法要求在至少两个版本中将软件编程到闪存中，其中一个版本提供内核软件，其中包含编程/重新编程所需的功能（包括用于链接到个人计算机的功能，通过该软件将软件可以提供编程），而另一种构建提供非内核软件，通常提供面向应用的功能的例程，并且对编程闪存不是必需的。至少两个版本的第一个构建被写入闪存的扇区，然后被锁定。该系统在某些应用中提供了使用一次编写多个价值非核心软件的扇区的寻呼算法来编写非内核软件。一旦内核软件的编程完成，至少部分闪存，即托管非内核软件的部分，可以使用内核软件提供的功能进行编程或重新编程。在一些应用程序中，提供了三个内置版本，其中只有最少的内核软件，其中只包含Flash编程实用程序和例程的一小部分，为基本的串行I / O链接提供链接到个人计算机。在这种应用中，所有的操作系统软件，即提供邮件机的系统级功能的软件都被提供为第二个非保护构建，并且提供包括应用软件的第三构建。

摘要： A system controls the downloading of images from a portable device into a postage meter so that the downloaded images can be subsequently printed by the postage meter. The portable device is useable in conjunction with a fixed number of meter serial numbers and can be used for downloading of images into any meter until the fixed number has been met and accounted for by the portable device. At this point in time, the portable device is only capable of downloading the image into the specific meters that previously had the images downloaded from the portable device.
