AWS Signer
#99 · Level 3 · Modern architecture · SecurityConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Signer is a managed code signing service. Code signing means putting a digital signature on code, so you can tell who made the code and that no one changed it later. In Signer you create a signing profile, which is used to sign code. If you turn on code signing in Lambda, only code signed with a trusted profile can be deployed. It is also used to sign container images and software for IoT devices.
