How do I authenticate AWS?

What is authentication in AWS?
AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a simple best practice that adds an extra layer of protection on top of your username and password. You can enable MFA for your AWS account and for individual IAM users you have created under your account. MFA can be also be used to control access to AWS service APIs.
Request signature is the API request parameter api_sig which is added to every request to verify request user's authenticity on behalf of which the request is made. The request used to demonstrate request signing is a POST to https://infogr.am/service/v1/infographics.
The HTTP Signatures specification is intended to provide a standard way for clients to add origin authentication and message integrity to HTTP-based messages. The HTTP Signature Nonce specification describes a way to use the HTTP Signatures protocol over an unsecured channel like HTTP.
What is AWS Access Key ID?
AWS Access Keys. Access Keys are used to sign the requests you send to Amazon S3. Like the Username/Password pair you used to access your AWS Management Console, Access Key I'd and Secret Access Key are used for programmatic (API) access to AWS services. You can manage your Access Keys in AWS Management Console.
How do I find my AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key?
Open the IAM console.
From the navigation menu, click Users.
Select your IAM user name.
Click User Actions, and then click Manage Access Keys.
Click Create Access Key.
