The AWS SDK for Java with support for OSGi. The AWS SDK for Java provides Java APIs for building software on AWS' cost-effective, scalable, and reliable infrastructure products. The AWS Java SDK allows developers to code against APIs for all of Amazon's infrastructure web services (Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, Amazon SQS, Amazon Relational Database Service, Amazon AutoScaling, etc).

/**
 * Amazon Cognito
 * 

* Amazon Cognito is a web service that delivers scoped temporary credentials to * mobile devices and other untrusted environments. Amazon Cognito uniquely * identifies a device and supplies the user with a consistent identity over the * lifetime of an application. *

*

* Using Amazon Cognito, you can enable authentication with one or more * third-party identity providers (Facebook, Google, or Login with Amazon), and * you can also choose to support unauthenticated access from your app. Cognito * delivers a unique identifier for each user and acts as an OpenID token * provider trusted by AWS Security Token Service (STS) to access temporary, * limited-privilege AWS credentials. *

*

* To provide end-user credentials, first make an unsigned call to GetId. * If the end user is authenticated with one of the supported identity * providers, set the Logins map with the identity provider token. * GetId returns a unique identifier for the user. *

*

* Next, make an unsigned call to GetCredentialsForIdentity. This call * expects the same Logins map as the GetId call, as * well as the IdentityID originally returned by GetId * . Assuming your identity pool has been configured via the * SetIdentityPoolRoles operation, GetCredentialsForIdentity * will return AWS credentials for your use. If your pool has not been * configured with SetIdentityPoolRoles, or if you want to follow * legacy flow, make an unsigned call to GetOpenIdToken, which returns * the OpenID token necessary to call STS and retrieve AWS credentials. This * call expects the same Logins map as the GetId call, * as well as the IdentityID originally returned by * GetId. The token returned by GetOpenIdToken can be * passed to the STS operation AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity to retrieve AWS credentials. *

*

* If you want to use Amazon Cognito in an Android, iOS, or Unity application, * you will probably want to make API calls via the AWS Mobile SDK. To learn * more, see the AWS * Mobile SDK Developer Guide. *
