.. _Getting_Credentials_Data_Czar:
**************************************
Getting Credentials for Data Czars
**************************************
The designated data czar at each institution works with an edX Program Manager
to set up a public/private key pair for GNU Privacy Guard (GNUPG).
* The edX Analytics team creates an account on the Amazon Web Service (AWS)
Simple Storage Service (S3), and provides the Program Manager with the
public key for account access.
* When a data package is available, the data czar downloads it from S3 and
decrypts it using the private key.
For detailed information on this procedure, see the `How Do I Get My Research
Data Package?`_ article on the Open edX Analytics wiki.
