Testing LocalEGA

File Upload

• User does not exist
• User does not have rights to access this Local EGA
• User authentication failed: password or ssh-key
• User authentication succeeds but user inbox not created: ssh/sftp access denied
• Database connection fails, so user information is not available
• User tries to login via something else than ssh/sftp

File Ingestion

• User applies the wrong encryption protocol (ie not OpenPGP)
• User uses the wrong GPG key or sends it to the wrong LocalEGA
• Ingestion starts but inbox not created
• Ingestion starts but file not found in inbox
• File found but its checksum doesn't match with the supplied one
• File found but its checksum doesn't match with the companion file
• File found, no checksum supplied and no companion file
• File found, its checksum is correct but the GPG decryption fails (and why)

  To be expanded. That item comprises many tests! eg Keyserver communication fails: Server down, SSL encryption channel is not set up... GPG key not found, GPG key not unlocked etc

• File found, its checkusum is valid, the GPG decryption succeed but the checksum of the decrypted doesn't match with the supplied one
• File found, its checkusum is valid, the GPG decryption succeed but the checksum of the decrypted doesn't match with the companion file
• File found, ...., but re-encryption fails (and why)

  To be expanded. This item comprises many tests! eg key not found

• Re-encryption failure due shortage in the staging area

  To be expanded. This item comprises many tests! eg disk full, or mount failed, ...

• Moving to staging area failed

  Vault listener is down, vault disk is full, staging area mount failed, etc...

• Verification of the copied file in the vault failed

  The file was not fully copied, so its checksum failed (calculated at the re-encryption step).

• Database connection failed, so information about the file is not available

Robustness

• Everything works after a system reboot (manually or power outage)
• Some components are restarted (especially the database, but also the ingestion workers or the vault)
• Stress tests:
  • ingesting a big file
  • ingesting many files
