Authentication Introduction:
AK/SK authentication: Requests are encrypted using AK (Access Key ID)/SK (Secret Access Key).
In AK/SK authentication, AK/SK is used to sign requests and the signature is then added to the message headers for authentication.
Parameter | Description |
Access Key ID (AK): | Indicates the access key ID. It is a unique identifier associated with the secret access key, and is used in conjunction with the secret access key to sign requests cryptographically. |
Secret Access Key (SK): | Indicates the secret access key. which is used in conjunction with an AK to sign requests cryptographically. It identifies a request sender and prevents the request from being modified. |
In AK/SK authentication, you can use an AK/SK to sign requests based on the signature algorithm or with the signing SDK. For more information about how to sign requests and use the signing SDK, see API Request Signing Guide.
Note: The signing SDK is only used for signing requests and is different from the SDKs provided by services.
