recently I have been assigned an account ID and password to download the requested data files from EGA database(https://ega-archive.org). I was trying to download the data using EGA client's interactive shell. I am a little bit confused about the "Encryption key used for data encryption" How can I get this encryption key? to download the data and decrypt the data suggested in this example.
Thank you.
EGA > request dataset EGAD00010000498 abc request_EGAD00010000498
Requesting.... (This may take longer if there are pending files in the request)
Resulting Request: request_EGAD00010000498 (19 file requests).
here the abc would be the key and I really don't have idea from where I can get his key.
Have you obtained necessary permission to access the data?
Yes it's showing up the available data when I assess database through the "EgaDemoClient.jar " client.
Looks like you specify
key
yourself when you request the data download. Make it long and complex enough (absolute random characters may work best). You could use an online tool like this one to make one. Be sure to save the key somewhere since you will need it to decrypt the downloaded files.
