and any conditional logic you wish to apply and store them with Amazon SWF.
Amazon SWF access is granted based on an AWS Account or a user created with AWS IAM. All actors that participate in
the execution of a workflow
—
deciders, activity workers, workflow administrators
—
must be IAM users under the AWS
Account that owns the Amazon SWF resources. You cannot grant users associated with other AWS Accounts access to
your Amazon SWF workflows. An AWS IAM user, however, only has access to the workflows and resources for which
they have been granted access via policy.
Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) Security
Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is an outbound-only email-sending service built on
Amazon’s
reliable and scalable
infrastructure. Amazon SES helps you maximize email deliverability and stay informed of the delivery status of your
emails. Amazon SES integrates with other AWS services, making it easy to send emails from applications being hosted on
services such as Amazon EC2.
Unfortunately, with other email systems, it's possible for a spammer to falsify an email header and spoof the originating
email address so that it appears as though the email originated from a different source. To mitigate these problems,
Amazon SES requires users to verify their email address or domain in order to confirm that they own it and to prevent
others from using it. To verify a domain, Amazon SES requires the sender to publish a DNS record that Amazon SES
supplies as proof of control over the domain. Amazon SES periodically reviews domain verification status, and revokes
verification in cases where it is no longer valid.
Amazon SES takes proactive steps to prevent questionable content from being sent, so that ISPs receive consistently
high-quality email from our domains and therefore view Amazon SES as a trusted email origin. Below are some of the
features that maximize deliverability and dependability for all of our senders:
•
Amazon SES uses content-filtering technologies to help detect and block messages containing viruses or
malware before they can be sent.
•
Amazon SES maintains complaint feedback loops wi
th major ISPs. Complaint feedback loops indicate which
emails a recipient marked as spam. Amazon SES provides you access to these delivery metrics to help guide your
sending strategy.
•
Amazon SES uses a variety of techniques to measure the quality of each user’s sending. These mechanisms help
identify and disable attempts to use Amazon SES for unsolicited mail, and detect other sending patterns that
would harm Amazon SES’s reputation with ISPs, mailbox providers, and anti
-spam services.

Identified Mail (DKIM). When you authenticate an email, you provide evidence to ISPs that you own the domain.
