Infrastructure security in Amazon Translate

As a managed service, Amazon Translate is protected by the AWS global network security procedures that are described in the Amazon Web Services: Overview of Security Processes whitepaper.

To access Amazon Translate through the network, you use AWS published API calls. Clients must support TLS 1.2 or later. Clients must also support cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS), such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Most modern systems, such as Java 7 and later, support these modes.

Additionally, requests must be signed by using an access key ID and a secret access key that is associated with an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) principal. Or you can use the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to generate temporary security credentials to sign requests.
