Archive retrieval

This documentation will not go into great detail on retrieving DNA data file archives instead look to here

Encryption

  • To verify a retrieved archivethat is encrypted is valid one can use nencvalid
  • On the file formats page two encrypted file formats are mentioned. The new format does not require knowing the password or phrase used to encrypt the file. The older format can not fully verify the file without the encrypting password or phrase but can do some validation.
