[psa] [Action Required] Amazon SES is Ending Support for Signature Version 3 Effective September 30, 2020

Hello Folks,

Please take the time to read the notification from AWS below and check if your service is impacted by this change.
---

Hello,

Amazon Web Services currently supports Amazon SES API requests that are signed using Signature Version 3 and Signature Version 4 processes. Signature Version 4 further enhances the security around authentication and authorization of Amazon SES customers by using a signing key instead of your secret access key. To improve the security for our customers, beginning October 1, 2020, Amazon Signature Version 3 will be turned off (deprecated) in Amazon SES in favor of Signature Version 4.

Amazon SES customers who are still using Signature Version 3 must migrate to Signature Version 4 by September 30, 2020. After that, Amazon SES will only accept requests that are signed using Signature Version 4. For more information, see Signature Version 4 signing process [1].

What Happens if I Don't Make Updates?

Requests signed with Signature Version 3 that are made after September 30, 2020 will fail to authenticate with Amazon SES. Requesters will see errors stating that the request must be signed with Signature Version 4.
