Summary

Added documentation for new 'Signer' feature and 'Data Masking' utility. Updated date.

The Signer feature documentation describes AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) signing for HTTP requests, which is a security feature for request authentication and integrity. However, there's no evidence this change addresses a specific security vulnerability.
