Abstract
Ein Verfahren zur Auswertung von Sicherheitsabdrucken auf Poststücken umfaßt ein Zurückgewinnen von einzelnen Informationen aus der abgedruckten Markierung unter Anwendung eines symmetrischen Verschlüsselungsalgorithmus, um aus jeder Kryptozahl wieder die Ausgangszahl zu erzeugen, wobei die Ausgangszahl eine Kombinationszahl (KOZ) ist, welche die Zahlenkombination mindestens zweier Größen enthält, wobei die eine Größe durch die oberen Stellen und die andere Größe durch die unteren Stellen der Kombinationszahl (KOZ) repräsentiert wird, und Vergleich einer der Größen mit den offen auf dem Poststück abgedruckten Informationen. A method for evaluating security imprints on mail pieces comprises recovering individual information from the printed marking using a symmetrical encryption algorithm in order to generate the initial number from each crypto number, the initial number being a combination number (KOZ), which is the number combination of at least two sizes contains, one size is represented by the upper digits and the other size by the lower digits of the combination number (KOZ), and comparison of one of the sizes with the information printed open on the mail piece.
