Abstract
The primary goal of e-postage systems is to enable mailers to use the services of postal operators (universal and competitive), to determine the correct amount of postage for each service used, and to transfer the corresponding funds from the mailer to the postal operator in a secure and timely manner. Secondary goals are to provide the postal operators with accurate usage data, to supply mailers with accurate track and trace information and to protect the mailers’ and recipients’ privacy.
