What is it?
To facilitate your data submission, we have prepared a data inbox (S3 bucket) specifically for this purpose. You should have received an email containing a secure link with the following information:
- S3 endpoint
- Bucket name
- Access key
- Secret key
Follow the steps below to upload you data.
Prerequisite
To upload your data, you need to have the following tools installed:
- OpenSSL
- On windows: you can use openssl installed in git terminal - download the portable version (Git Installation Guide)
- On mac: using brew (
brew install openssl)
- AWS CLI (AWS CLI Installation Guide)
Step 1: Compress the file
You can compress the directory using tar. This command compresses the entire directory into a single tarball (mydata.tar).
tar -cvf mydata.tar /path/to/your/data/directory
Step 2: Encrypt the compressed file
Next, encrypt the tarball using openssl with AES-256 encryption. You'll be prompted to enter a password, which you'll need to remember for decrypting the file later.
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -salt -in mydata.tar -out mydata.tar.enc
And enter a strong password to encrypt the file.
Step 3: Upload the data to s3
Configure your S3 profile:
aws configure --profile spe-$PROJECT_NAME
AWS Access Key ID [None]: # COPY from the one-time link
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: # COPY from the one-time link
Default region name [None]:
Default output format [None]:
Please upload the encrypted data to the provided S3 bucket using the command below:
aws s3 cp --profile spe-$PROJECT_NAME mydata.tar.enc s3://$BUCKET_NAME/mydata.tar.enc --endpoint-url https://s3-luxembourg.obj.ebrc.com/
You can now follow the how-to to share the encryption key with the Analyst.
