Abstract
A postage metering system that includes a central processing system and a remote postage printing device (RPPD). The central processing system includes a secure metering device (SMD) operatively coupled to a central computer and configured to store accounting information. The RPPD operatively couples to the SMD via a wireless communications link. The RPPD receives a user request for postage, transmits the user request to the SMD via the wireless communications link, receives a secure postage indicium from the SMD, and directs printing of an indicium. The secure postage indicium can be generated using digital signature, encryption, or encoding, or a combination thereof.
