Security Credentials for AWS
Introduction
When interacting with Amazon Web Services (AWS), you must specify your AWS security credentials to verify your identity and authorization level. To ensure the security of your AWS account, it's essential to create a Security Profile using the Appstore Developer Console. This profile defines the authentication and authorization mechanisms used for accessing AWS resources.
Authentication Mechanisms
AWS supports several authentication mechanisms, including:
- Access tokens generated for federated users
- Access keys
- Temporary security credentials
Authorization Mechanisms
Authorization mechanisms determine the level of access granted to your AWS account. You can use the following methods for authorization:
- IAM roles
- Identity-based policies
- Resource-based policies
Creating a Security Profile
To create a Security Profile in the Appstore Developer Console, you must have Admin level credentials for your Amazon Developer Console account. The Security Profile will specify the authentication and authorization mechanisms that will be used for accessing AWS resources.
