UPU - Bridging the Digital Divide
• By migrating their universal delivery commitment to the online
world, postal services can ensure that citizens have better and
easier access to internet connectivity and services.
• A growing number of UPU member postal administrations have
intensified their cooperation with the telecommunications sector
to develop tele-kiosk and hybrid mail combining electronic
transmission and a physical delivery.
• Standards are now developing to support this bridge over the
digital divide.

Non-repudiation for all forms of
communication.
• For any document, form or “piece
of electronic paper” – nonrepudiation is applied in the form
of a “stamp” that also seals the
document
• Using Microsoft/Adobe
applications, the EPM stamp is
part of the software
• Once applied, the item is sealed
as if it were in the mail – it cannot
be tampered or corrected without
trace
