AWS kinesisvideostreams documentation change

Service: kinesisvideostreams · 2026-05-28 · Documentation low

File: kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/CommonParameters.md

Summary

Entire documentation content removed including sections about authentication parameters (X-Amz-Algorithm, X-Amz-Credential, etc.) and security token usage.

Security assessment

Removal of authentication documentation doesn't indicate a security fix but rather content deletion. No evidence of vulnerability remediation.

-# Common Parameters
-
-The following list contains the parameters that all actions use for signing Signature Version 4 requests with a query string. Any action-specific parameters are listed in the topic for that action. For more information about Signature Version 4, see [Signing AWS API requests](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_sigv.html) in the _IAM User Guide_.
-
-**X-Amz-Algorithm**
-    
-
-The hash algorithm that you used to create the request signature.
-
-Condition: Specify this parameter when you include authentication information in a query string instead of in the HTTP authorization header.
-
-Type: string
-
-Valid Values: `AWS4-HMAC-SHA256`
-
-Required: Conditional
-
-**X-Amz-Credential**
-    
-
-The credential scope value, which is a string that includes your access key, the date, the region you are targeting, the service you are requesting, and a termination string ("aws4_request"). The value is expressed in the following format: _access_key_ /_YYYYMMDD_ /_region_ /_service_ /aws4_request.
-
-For more information, see [Create a signed AWS API request](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_sigv-create-signed-request.html) in the _IAM User Guide_.
-
-Condition: Specify this parameter when you include authentication information in a query string instead of in the HTTP authorization header.
-
-Type: string
-
-Required: Conditional
-
-**X-Amz-Date**
-    
-
-The date that is used to create the signature. The format must be ISO 8601 basic format (YYYYMMDD'T'HHMMSS'Z'). For example, the following date time is a valid X-Amz-Date value: `20120325T120000Z`.
-
-Condition: X-Amz-Date is optional for all requests; it can be used to override the date used for signing requests. If the Date header is specified in the ISO 8601 basic format, X-Amz-Date is not required. When X-Amz-Date is used, it always overrides the value of the Date header. For more information, see [Elements of an AWS API request signature](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_sigv-signing-elements.html) in the _IAM User Guide_.
-
-Type: string
-
-Required: Conditional
-
-**X-Amz-Security-Token**
-    
-
-The temporary security token that was obtained through a call to AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS). For a list of services that support temporary security credentials from AWS STS, see [AWS services that work with IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html) in the _IAM User Guide_.
-
-Condition: If you're using temporary security credentials from AWS STS, you must include the security token.
-
-Type: string
-
-Required: Conditional
-
-**X-Amz-Signature**
-    
-
-Specifies the hex-encoded signature that was calculated from the string to sign and the derived signing key.
-
-Condition: Specify this parameter when you include authentication information in a query string instead of in the HTTP authorization header.
-
-Type: string
-
-Required: Conditional
-
-**X-Amz-SignedHeaders**
-    
-
-Specifies all the HTTP headers that were included as part of the canonical request. For more information about specifying signed headers, see [Create a signed AWS API request](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_sigv-create-signed-request.html) in the _IAM User Guide_.
-
-Condition: Specify this parameter when you include authentication information in a query string instead of in the HTTP authorization header.
