CA 2447192

a method of reissuing secured postage indicium includes the steps of dispensing from a postage meter an original postage indicium as evidence of postage dispensed for a requested postage transaction, the original postage indicium including postage information and authentication information; storing within the postage meter a transaction record for the dispensed original postage indicium, the transaction record including the postage information and the authentication information; and receiving at the postage meter a request to reissue the original postage indicium. The inventive method further includes subsequent to receiving the reissue request the steps of obtaining the postage information and the authentication information form the transaction record; combining the obtained postage information and the authentication information with an indicator thereby creating a modified original postage indicium; and dispensing the modified original postage indicium form the postage meter so that the indicator is obtainable from the dispensed modified original postage indicium to identify that the dispensed modified original postage indicium is a reissue of the original postage indicium.

L'invention concerne un procédé de réémission d'étiquette postale sécurisé, qui comprend les étapes suivantes: émission, dans un système d'affranchissement, d'une étiquette initiale attestant d'une transaction postale souhaitée (cette étiquette comporte l'information d'affranchissement et l'information d'authentification); enregistrement, dans le système, d'une trace de transaction pour ladite étiquette (y compris l'information d'affranchissement et l'information d'authentification); et réception, dans le système, d'une demande de réémission de l'étiquette initiale. Après la réception d'une telle demande, les étapes sont les suivantes: récupération de l'information d'affranchissement et de l'information d'authentification à partir de la trace enregistrée; combinaison des deux informations considérées et d'un indicateur, pour établir une version modifiée de l'étiquette postale initiale; enfin, production de cette étiquette à partir du système d'affranchissement, de manière à obtenir l'indicateur depuis l'étiquette modifiée et à identifier ladite étiquette comme une réémission de l'étiquette initiale.
