s3-signer
s3-signer is intended to be an aid in building secure cloud-based services with AWS. This library generates cryptographically secure URLs that expire at a user-defined interval. These URLs can be used to offload the process of uploading and downloading large files, freeing your webserver to focus on other things.
Features
- Minimal depedencies
- Web framework agnostic
- Reduces web server load
- Simple API
- Ideal for AJAX direct-to-s3 upload scenarios

S3 Query String Request Authentication
Implementation
AWS Specification
Signature = URL-Encode( Base64( HMAC-SHA1( YourSecretAccessKeyID,UTF-8-Encoding-Of( StringToSign ) ) ) );
Haskell Implementation
module Network.S3.Sign ( sign ) where
import Crypto.Hash.SHA1 (hash)
import Crypto.MAC.HMAC (hmac)
import qualified Data.ByteString.Base64 as B64
import Data.ByteString.UTF8 (ByteString)
import Network.HTTP.Types.URI (urlEncode)
-- | HMAC-SHA1 Encrypted Signature
sign :: ByteString -> ByteString -> ByteString
sign secretKey url = urlEncode True . B64.encode $ hmac hash 64 secretKey url
Use Case
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
module Main where
import Network.S3
main :: IO ()
main = print =<< generateS3URL credentials request
where
credentials = S3Keys "<public-key-goes-here>" "<secret-key-goes-here>"
request = S3Request S3GET "application/zip" "bucket-name" "file-name.extension" 3 -- 3 secs until expired
Result
S3URL {
signedRequest =
"https://bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com/file-name.extension?AWSAccessKeyId=<public-key-goes-here>&Expires=1402346638&Signature=1XraY%2Bhp117I5CTKNKPc6%2BiihRA%3D"

How to read file data from the browser
Troubleshoooting
- Why do I keep getting 403 forbidden when I attempt to upload or download from a pre-signed URL?
- Ask yourself the following:
- Are my keys specified correctly?
- Did I configure the CORS settings on my bucket properly?
- Still trouble? Make an issue
- Ask yourself the following:
- Why are my URLs expiring faster than the specified time?
- Ask yourself the following:
- Is my server’s clock synchronized with AWS? See wiki for NTP info
- Ask yourself the following:
FAQ
- Why didn’t you use HMAC-SHA256?
- It’s 30% slower, and for all intents and purposes no more secure than HMAC-SHA1 (no known vulnerabilities exist for it, to my knowledge). Plain SHA1 is a different story. Collisions can be found, but there is no known way to apply those to HMAC-SHA1.
- For the curious SHA-1 is broken
- For the paranoid (Schneier quote from same article above)
- Relevant SO Post
This attack builds on previous attacks on SHA-0 and SHA-1, and is a major, major cryptanalytic result. It pretty much puts a bullet into SHA-1 as a hash function for digital signatures (although it doesn’t affect applications such as HMAC where collisions aren’t important).
