at least one redundant channel,  with an acknowledgement
mechanism (e.g. registered mail).   But fax is also possible for this
because the receipt is stamped with date/time of reception.   This
is easily monitored for continuing validity using the kind of automated
checks I mentioned recently; no human involvement required at
sending end, only at the receiving end to return the token (manually,
ensuring that someone is actually managing the public resource
in his care).
