Description The AMERICA2 (PSD) is a cryptographically secure, tamper proof device capable of storing customer postal credit and then dispensing valid postal indicia. As an embedded multi-chip Cryptographic Device, the AMERICA2 is enclosed within a tamper-response envelope that prevents all physically invasive attacks while still ensuring the retention of all postal data. The AMERICA2 (PSD) generates HMAC indicia as part of Data-Pac's IBI Light Symmetric postage system, which obviates the need for the digital signature used in traditional IBI franking. Data-Pac embeds the AMERICA2 into its line of Digit

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
