Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of secure processing of non-postal stamps, such as tax stamps, in an unsecured environment.
  • stamps for purposes other than postage are well known. Such stamps can be found especially in the fiscal field to pay fines or various rights for the benefit of the State. These stamps are also affixed to various types of official documents to confirm their validity or to certain acts issued by ministerial officers, such as notaries or bailiffs. Stamps with monetary value also exist in the field of insurance or bank loans. In such an insecure environment, that is to say in which these stamps do not pass through a fully controlled network, as is the case in the postal field, it can not be guaranteed that these stamps are many original copies and they are not mere copies.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a method of secure processing of revenue stamps that avoids the issuer any loss of income while minimizing the current habits of users.
  • each printed stamp can be attached to a specific buyer and only one.
  • the identification data comprises at least the identity and the coordinates of the buyer and the communication is carried out through the Internet network to which said buyer connects via any computer.
  • the identification data may consist in the document on which the tax stamp will be affixed.
  • the unique coded authentication number is decrypted at the level of digitization and processing means which can thus verify the authenticity of the tax stamp.
  • said authentication service is also accessible via the Internet from any computer of any third party interested in the registration of identification data relating to the documents on which said tax stamps are affixed to ensure validity.
  • system according to the invention may further comprise scanning and processing means.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a computer network architecture that can exist between an administration responsible for issuing tax stamps, an intermediary responsible for the distribution of the stamps and a user who receives the stamps, in which the method according to the invention can be implemented.
  • the printing machine is a machine similar to a franking machine allowing the printing of tax stamps on labels or possibly directly on documents. It therefore conventionally comprises printing means and means of accounting for the values of tax taxes corresponding to each of the printed stamps. It also includes encryption means for printing on this stamp, in addition to the value of the associated fee, a unique coded identification number developed from this tax value, the serial number of the machine and any other data d useful information such as the name of the owner of the machine, the number of his contract, etc.
  • the labels may comprise, in known manner, fluorescent ink-based security markings or micro-prints.
  • This machine 10 is connected remotely to a first computer server 12 disposed on a site of the administration or its representative and comprising at least one database 14.
  • This server periodically receives, at least once a day, a report printing operations carried out by the machine (but a report after each printing is also possible), including the detailed amount of tax taxes printed and debits accordingly the account of the holder of the machine. It can also ensure an update of the printing machine, for example by sending new tax values or new types of tax stamps.
  • the database includes shared access with a second computer server 16 disposed on the site of an authentication service which may be a service independent or not of the administration and which hosts a website whose connection is possible, via the Internet network 18, preferably from any computer terminal, for example a personal computer 20 of the purchaser user of the tax stamp or a personal computer 22 of any third party interested as a bank, an insurance company, a notary office, etc. stamp will have been provided for the payment of a right in respect of a product or service.
  • an authentication service which may be a service independent or not of the administration and which hosts a website whose connection is possible, via the Internet network 18, preferably from any computer terminal, for example a personal computer 20 of the purchaser user of the tax stamp or a personal computer 22 of any third party interested as a bank, an insurance company, a notary office, etc. stamp will have been provided for the payment of a right in respect of a product or service.
  • connection to the authentication service that can be done anywhere (at the place of printing or not), makes it possible for all of these people to register or check online printed tax stamps, this recording consisting in associating with the readable information on a stamp, in particular the type of stamp, the value of the tax tax and the unique coded authentication number, personal information relating to these persons or the document on which the stamp concerned will be affixed. to ensure its validity and this control consisting in verifying the information entered.
  • this recording also includes the sending to the authentication service of this document or its image.
  • the administration may also provide a validity check and authenticate the tax stamps issued to it by using digitization means 24 connected to computer processing means, for example a personal computer 26, to read and decrypt the unique number. encoded authentication. It can furthermore provide a connection, via the Internet network 18, to the second computer server 16 providing hosting of the authentication service's website.
  • these digitization and processing means can be incorporated in a single module such as a digital personal assistant (not shown) integrating a digital camera and means for decrypting the unique number.
  • the method implemented in the aforementioned network architecture is now explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2. It comprises several steps.
  • the first is the printing phase of tax stamps which is carried out by authorized intermediaries.
  • This printing which comprises the printing of the stamp with the value of the tax and that of the unique number of coded authentication, is preferably made at the unit at the request of each buyer, the intermediary being then debited at the end of the day that of the amount of the taxes corresponding to the stamps actually sold, but it can also be done globally for example at the beginning of the day, the intermediary then proceeds to printing tax stamps of different amounts of taxes in anticipation of its sales of the day (but then it can be debited with an amount of taxes higher than its real sales because of possible unsold).
  • the second step is the registration phase 32 in which the buyer user will register with the authentication service the stamp or stamps he has just purchased.
  • This recording is done by means of his computer or a third computer with which he will connect to the website of this service to communicate various identifying information about him, such as his identity and his postal, telephone or other contact information for example electronic and concerning the stamp itself as the amount of the tax to be paid or the type of document on which it must be affixed. All this information is of course associated with the unique coded authentication number which is printed on each stamp purchased from the authorized intermediary and which will also be communicated to the website.
  • the third step 34 consists in affixing the tax stamp on the document for which it is intended and in handing it over to the recipient concerned, who can then, if he wishes, check its validity and / or authenticity in a fourth step. If this recipient is a third party other than the administration, he will be able to access the authentication service and, by communicating the unique encrypted authentication number printed on each received stamp, check the data provided by the intermediary and the user. ensure that this number has not been attempted twice or that the data recorded correspond to those of the user handing him the document. He may also communicate, in particular for use by the administration, information concerning him or identification data relating to the document.
  • the terminal of the administration may advantageously comprise a software module which from the input of the footprint of the tax stamp provides, via a browser installed on this terminal, a direct connection, through the network Internet to which this terminal is linked, with a uniform resource address (URL) of a dynamic page of the authentication service's Web site on which all the information associated with the coded single authentication number previously entered via and the user and possibly the interested third party.
