Survey Data Exchange to and from Respondent Account Services

Collection Instruments are uploaded from the ONS estate to a RabbitMQ queue for consumption by RAS. To facilitate this the excel files are base64 encoded and then wrapped in a JWT. This JWT is encrypted and signed before being placed on the queue.

Once the Collection Instruments have been completed by the respondent RAS re-encodes them and wraps them in a signed and encrypted JWT to be transferred back into the ONS estate.
