Today, AWS announced enhanced API key restrictions for Amazon Location Service, enabling developers to secure their location-based applications more effectively. This new capability helps organizations that need to restrict API access to specific mobile applications, providing improved security controls for location services across their application portfolio.
Developers can now create granular security policies by restricting API keys to specific Android applications using package names and SHA-1 certificate fingerprints, or to iOS applications using Bundle IDs. For example, enterprises can ensure their API keys only work with their approved mobile applications, while development teams can create separate keys for testing and production environments.
Amazon Location Service API key restrictions are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Spain), and South America (São Paulo). To implement these restrictions, you’ll need to update your API key configurations using the Amazon Location Service console or APIs. To learn more, please visit the Developer Guide.
