Signed Urls

Using Signed Urls are a great way to access/modify/create resources securly. Resources in the context of this project are File Uploads by users. Signed Urls are created by the service and can be used by the other servers/users without needing additional authentication. The generated Signed Url itself is an authenticated gateway and acts as the main source authentication.

Tech Stack

• Rust (Rust programming language and installation steps are found here.

How to run the code

• After installing rust, clone the project and go to the directory
• run cargo install to the command-line terminal download the packages
• create the .env file with the required parmaters. You can copy the .env-template file;
• run cargo run to compile and run the program (initial compile time might take some time)
• run cargo build if you want to make an executable (optional)

Application Flow

• External Servers/Services needs an API_KEY to generate View/Upload Signed-Urls. They can hit the .../project/create post-route and they would recieve their API_KEY as part of the JSON response
• External Servers/Services would need their API_KEY on the POST_REQUEST Authentication-Header to hit these API endpoints .../request/create/upload and .../request/create/view to create SignedUrl for secure upload and view respectively.
• Generated Signed-Urls that is generated by the endpoints mentioned above above can be used by both External Servers/Services and Users for secure post and secure view.
