Hi @SreedharLilly - thanks for reaching out.

The error you're seeing is due to the signature mismatch where the signature value in your request to the AWS didn't match the signature that service calculated. How are you signing API requests? Can you provide a minimal reproducible code that would give me more insight on understanding the issue to offer guidance?

Also here's troubleshooting guide for error like this, for your reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/signature-v4-troubleshooting.html
