A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions in a data processing
system for shipping an item. The system includes receiving an encrypted address
identifying a destination for the item, associating the encrypted address with
the item, and using a carrier to deliver the item to the encrypted address, wherein
the carrier decrypts the encrypted address to deliver the item to the destination.
The encrypted address may be encrypted in a manner to limit reusability, such as
a single use or a particular carrier.
