(Main)Postal Services - Statement of mailing submission
Postal Services - Statement of mailing submission
This Technical Specification specifies a methodology that allows postal operators to define specific statements of mailing submission customised according to their environment and applications.
The document defines information requirements for existing generic postal information processing applications related to major postal functions, namely operations, finance and marketing by specifically identifying the information that could be collected within the mailer’s domain and transmitted to the postal domain.
In addition, this document defines the organisation of data into messages by describing data content, format and communication protocol suitable for communication of data originating in the mailer’s domain.
The specification also provides a detailed analysis and recommendations for implementing application level security threats and countermeasures particularly relevant for postal revenue protection in controlled mail entry settings.
Finally, this document provides several examples of concrete statements of mailing submissions and an example of a secure communication protocol recommended for transmission of such statements.
NOTE The SMS describes letter mail or flats that are submitted for distribution and would not deal explicitly with content of letters or flats whether it concerns customs or any other party that could in principle be interested in knowing the content of these mail units.
Postalische Dienstleistungen - Übertragung von Daten für Briefanlieferungen
Diese Technische Spezifikation legt Verfahrensweisen fest, die es Postbetreibern erlauben, spezifische
Posteinlieferungsverzeichnisse zu definieren, die speziell an die jeweiligen Umgebungen und Anwendungen
angepasst sind.
Das Dokument definiert Anforderungen an Informationen für bestehende allgemeine Anwendungen der
postalischen Informationsbearbeitung, die im Zusammenhang mit wichtigen postalischen Funktionen stehen,
d. h. Arbeitsgänge, Finanzierung und Vertrieb, indem es die jeweiligen Informationen identifiziert, die
innerhalb des Versendersektors zusammengetragen und an den speziellen postalischen Sektor übertragen
werden können.
Darüber hinaus definiert dieses Dokument den Vorgang der Organisation von Daten zu Nachrichten durch
Beschreibung des Dateninhalts, des Formats und des Kommunikationsprotokolls, die für die Übertragung von
Daten geeignet sind, die aus dem Sektor des Versenders stammen.
Die Spezifikation liefert auch eine ausführliche Analyse sowie Empfehlungen in Bezug auf Sicherheitsgefährdungen
und Gegenmaßnahmen auf der Anwendungsebene, die von besonderer Relevanz für den
Schutz der Einkünfte in Umgebungen mit kontrollierter Briefeinreichung sind.
Schließlich liefert dieses Dokument mehrere Beispiele für konkrete Posteinlieferungsverzeichnisse sowie ein
Beispiel für ein empfohlenes sicheres Kommunikationsprotokoll für die Übertragung derartiger Verzeichnisse.
ANMERKUNG Das Posteinlieferungsverzeichnis (Statement of mailing Submission – SMS) beschreibt Briefsendungen
und Langbriefe, die zur Verteilung eingeliefert werden, und behandelt nicht explizit den Inhalt von Briefen oder
Langbriefen, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Kunden oder irgendeine andere Partei handelt, die grundsätzlich Interesse
am Inhalt dieser Sendeeinheiten haben könnte.

Poštne storitve - Izjava o dostavi pisemske pošiljke
Ta tehnična specifikacija določa metodologijo, ki omogoča, da izvajalci poštnih storitev definirajo posebne izjave o dostavi pisemske pošiljke, prilagojene glede na svoje okolje in uporabe. Dokument določa zahteve po podatkih za obstoječe procesne aplikacije za obdelavo generično poštnih podatkov v zvezi z glavnimi poštnimi funkcijami, in sicer operacije, finance in trženje, tako da posebej določa podatke, ki bi se lahko zbrali v domeni pošiljatelja in posredovali v domeno pošte. Poleg tega ta dokument opredeljuje organizacijo podatkov v sporočila, z opisovanjem vsebine podatkov, oblike in komunikacijskega protokola, primernega za posredovanje podatkov, ki izvirajo iz domene pošiljatelja. Specifikacija zagotavlja tudi podrobno analizo in priporočila za izvajanje ukrepov na področju varnostnih groženj in protiukrepe, zlasti pomembne za zaščito poštnih prihodkov v nadzorovanih okoljih za vnos pošte. Ta dokument vsebuje tudi več primerov konkretnih izjav o dostavi pisemske pošiljke ter primer varnega komunikacijskega protokola, ki se priporoča za posredovanje takih izjav.
