Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système d'affranchissement comportant un dispositif de sécurité postale recherchant un fond d'affranchissement assurant le timbrage et activant la configuration du système d'affranchissement. On utilise un code d'autorisation propre au système qui sert à en vérifier la configuration. Toute modification non autorisée de la configuration du système entraîne l'invalidation du code et le refus d'apposer le timbre. Un centre de données (125), qui stocke les informations de configuration de chacun des systèmes (100) d'affranchissement génère un code d'autorisation valable de vérification du système d'affranchissement sur la base de nouvelles informations de configuration. Les composants ajoutés au système doivent être préapprouvés pour empêcher la création frauduleuse de marques de timbrage. Lesdits composants préapprouvés reçoivent un numéro d'enregistrement nécessaire pour les interactions avec le système d'affranchissement.
