CA 2256173

A system and method for evidencing postage on a mailpiece includes a printer module transmitting to a remote data center a request for indicia data. The data center includes a processor, a database and a secure coprocessor. The database includes user account data. The request includes postal value for a selected number of indicia to be printed by the printer module. The data center verifies that the printer module is authorized to request the postal value and retrieves user account data stored in a database. The data center verifies the user's account data includes sufficient funds for the number of indicia requested, debits the user's account data for the total postal value requested and then generates a digital token for each of the indicia. The digital token is generated from information relating to each of the indicia including information unique to each of the indicia. The data center transmits to the printer module the requested indicia data including postal value and digital token for each of the indicia. The printer module prints the received indicia.:
