.Net Sample for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Request Authentication
The following code sample demonstrates how to calculate a request signature to sign authenticated requests to AWS.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;
namespace Devintelligence.Aws
{
/// <summary>
/// Generation authentication signatures for AWS Platform requests.
/// </summary>
public class AwsUtils
{
/// <summary>
/// Computes RFC 2104-compliant HMAC signature.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="data">The data to be signed.</param>
/// <param name="key">The signing key.</param>
/// <returns>The Base64-encoded RFC 2104-compliant HMAC signature.</returns>
public static string calculateRFC2104HMAC(string data, string key)
{
byte[] bData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
byte[] bKey = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
HMACSHA1 hmac = new HMACSHA1(bKey);
using(CryptoStream cryptoStream =
new CryptoStream(Stream.Null, hmac, CryptoStreamMode.Write) )
{
cryptoStream.Write(bData, 0, bData.Length);
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(hmac.Hash);
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets the time stamp.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dateTime">Date time.</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static string GetTimeStamp(DateTime dateTime)
{
return dateTime.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ");
}
}
}
