Dec 1, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/452404
Inventors:

Robert A Cordery - Danbury CT, US
David K. Lee - Monroe CT, US
Steven J. Pauly - New Milford CT, US
Leon A Pintsov - West Hartford CT, US
David W. Riley - Easton CT, US
Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F017/60
US Classification:

705 60, 705 62, 705407, 705403, 705402, 705408, 705410, 380 51
Abstract:

A transaction evidencing system includes a plurality of computer systems operatively configured to form a network with one of the computer systems functioning as a server and the remaining computer systems functioning as clients. Each of the computer systems includes a processor, memory and storage media. At least some of the storage means includes non-metering application programs that are selectively run on the client computer systems. An unsecured printer is operatively coupled to at least one of the computer systems for printing in accordance with the non-metering application programs. A portable vault card, which is removably coupled to the server computer system, includes digital token generation and transaction accounting processing. The client computer systems issue requests for digital tokens to the server computer system in response to requests for indicia from the non-metering application programs. The requests for digital tokens include predetermined information required by the token generation processing.

US Patent:

7080044, Jul 18, 2006
Filed:

Oct 17, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/690285
Inventors:

Robert A Cordery - Danbury CT, US
David K. Lee - Monroe CT, US
Steven J. Pauly - New Milford CT, US
Leon A Pintsov - West Hartford CT, US
David W. Riley - Easton CT, US
International Classification:

G07B 17/60
US Classification:

705 60, 705401, 705404
Abstract:

A transaction evidencing system includes a personal computer (PC) comprising a processor, memory and hard drive, with a plurality of non-metering application programs that selectively run on the PC. An unsecured printer is operatively coupled to the PC for printing in accordance with the non-metering application programs. A portable vault card that is removably coupled to the PC is programmed to generate tokens generation and perform transaction accounting. An application interface module in the PC, which interfaces with the non-metering application programs, issues a request for digital tokens in response to requests for indicia from a non-metering application program. A secure communications module in the PC, which securely communicates with the vault card when the vault card is coupled to the PC, sends the request for digital token to the vault card and receives a digital token generated by the vault card. An indicia bitmap generation module generates an indicia bitmap in the PC from the digital token and stores it in memory. The indicia bitmap is accessed by the non-metering application program when a print indicia operation is selected.

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:

G06Q 99/00
G06F 17/00
US Classification:

705 1, 705408
Abstract:

A method comprising the steps of generating a code at a data center, the code being associated with the value dispensing system; creating a challenge card having the code therein; sending the challenge card via a carrier service to the specific location; retrieving the code from the challenge card and entering the code into the value dispensing system subsequent to receipt of the code at the specific location; communicating the code retrieved from the challenge card from the value dispensing system to the data center; and comparing the code received at the data center from the value dispensing system to the code generated at the data center to verify that the value dispensing system is physically located at the specific location.

US Patent:

7433847, Oct 7, 2008
Filed:

Sep 22, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/946871
Inventors:

Steven J. Pauly - New Milford CT, US
Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:

G06Q 99/00
G06F 21/00
US Classification:

705 60, 705401, 705410
Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a postage printing device that is to be registered by a registering entity having a public/private key pair. The manufacturing station has a manufacturing station public/private key pair. The method includes storing a root certificate comprising the registering entity public key signed by the registering entity private key in the postage printing device, generating a transport public/private key pair, and storing the transport private key in the postage printing device. The method also includes generating a transport certificate comprising the transport public key signed by the manufacturing station private key, and storing the transport certificate in the postage printing device, after which the postage printing device is set to a transport lock state so that it can be securely transported. Also, a method of registering a postage printing device manufactured in this manner prior to operation of the postage printing device.
