4. CloudFront Signed Cookies. Setup & Distribution Configuration
In this lesson, we configure CloudFront for signed-cookie based access control.
Signed cookies are useful when a full playback session needs access to multiple related files, such as a manifest and many media segments.
You will learn:
1. How CloudFront trusted keys and key groups fit into signed-cookie access.
2. How distribution behavior must be configured for protected delivery.
3. Why signed cookies are often better than signed URLs for full streaming sessions.
