to implement, thereby preserving the evolution of your systems
La Poste’s Electronic Stamp Services are available in ASP
mode. Installation requires no specific hardware.
The service works by way of an exchange between the client application
and a web service platform, accessible through the Internet or a leased line.
Via the HTTPS protocol, the exchanges are confidential and certified.
The protected liaison requires X509 certificates for both the client
and the server.
These exchanges are made using SOAP XML queries. The proposed services
conform to the Digital Postmark S43 standard defined by the Universal
Postal Union. They comply with access interfaces to “reliable
electronic services” that have standardized throughout the
international postal community.
