USPS
Requirements:
Rekeying

The United States Postal Service (USPS) also requires, for security
reasons, that the meter keys expire after 3-6 years. Meter keys are
crytographic codes that your system uses to protect your funds during
printing and when connecting to your Postage By Phone account.

When the meter keys expire, the system reports that a rekey operation is
required.

To rekey your meter, perform a refill or a zero refill. This upgrades the keys.
If you do not perform a refill within three months of the rekey message, the
system locks the meter and does not allow you to print postage.

You may still perform a refill or a zero refill to upgrade the keys and resume
operation.
