I'm not in the target market, but https://sendsocial.com/how_it_works https://sendsocial.com/how_it_works doesn't really say explicitly that the sender address cannot be read from the barcode. Obviously, most humans cannot read barcodes, but that's not very good security.
This does require a bit of thought to solve, since you most likely don't want to discard the return address. A bit of crypto can solve this, but that puts quite a bit of work on the delivery service.
(On an unrelated note, what's with forcing every page to https? It doesn't hurt, but it's a bit wasteful.)
- theblackbox 17y agoJust confirmed this one with one of the founders... "that puts quite a bit of work on the delivery service." This is exactly what has been done - the barcode translates to a consignment number that is useless without access to myHermes' database. This is in virtue of them having recently incorporated new barcode scanners that link them into this system. [EDIT: dunno about the https overkill, though]
- JoachimSchipper 17y agoHmm. That's cool; the numbers would need to be per-package, not per-sender, and not sequential, but I assume those have been taken care of. Cool.
