Preservation

This data set is stored with version control on a GitHub repository. Furthermore, a Digital Object Identifier is provided by Zenodo.

Storage and Backup

The GitHub repository has controlled access with Two-Factor Authentication 2FA with two physical USB security devices (Bastián González-Bustamante, ORCID iD 0000-0003-1510-6820) and a mobile application (Diego Aguilar, ORCID iD 0000-0003-4531-5922). USB devices and the mobile application issue one-time passwords to generate a cryptographic authentication FIDO2 and U2F.

Moreover, the repository is backed up on Hierarchical File Server HFS for recovery in case of incidents. This backup is located on the University of Oxford hub connected to Code42 Cloud Backup encrypted with 256-bit AES. The backup is performed with every change on GitHub and receives weekly light maintenance and a deep one every month. This backup will be secured until May 2024. An extension of this period will be evaluated on budget availability.
