Use Crypto Browserify to calculate an AWS v4 signature as described at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-v4-test-suite.html#signature-v4-test-suite-task-3.
const Crypto = require('crypto-browserify');
const { createHmac } = Crypto;
const hmacSha256 = (signingKey, stringToSign) => {
const hmac = createHmac('sha256', signingKey);
hmac.write(stringToSign)
hmac.end();
return hmac.read();
};
const stringToSign = `AWS4-HMAC-SHA256

816cd5b414d056048ba4f7c5386d6e0533120fb1fcfa93762cf0fc39e2cf19e0`;
const targetSignature = 'b97d918cfa904a5beff61c982a1b6f458b799221646efd99d3219ec94cdf2500';
const secretKey = 'wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG+bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY';
const requestScope = stringToSign.split('\n')[2];
const [date, region, service, signatureType] = requestScope.split('/');
const round1 = hmacSha256(`AWS4${secretKey}`, date);
const round2 = hmacSha256(round1, region);
const round3 = hmacSha256(round2, service);
const round4 = hmacSha256(round3, signatureType);
const final = hmacSha256(round4, stringToSign).toString('hex');
console.log(targetSignature == final, targetSignature, final);

- posted 4 years ago byRevisiting this code snippet a few years later, I'm so glad it's been useful to other AWS integrators! My link to the AWS docs is broken, so it may be nonobvious that the stringToSign, targetSignature, and secretKey were all examples from AWS. You can find fresh examples in Task 2 and Task 3 of the current AWS signing docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4_signing.html. I'm keeping the code above as-is for posterity.
