This package contains an implementation of the [AWS Signature Version 4](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sig-v4-authenticating-requests.html)
authentication scheme.

It is internal to Smithy-TypeScript generated clients, and not generally intended for standalone usage outside this context.

For custom usage, inspect the interface of the SignatureV4 class.
