# CloudFront Public Key

A CloudFront Public Key is a resource used to validate signed URLs and signed cookies in Amazon CloudFront. It represents the public portion of a key pair that works with a corresponding private key to control access to content. By associating a public key with a CloudFront key group, you can enforce secure content delivery and ensure that only requests signed with the matching private key are authorized.

aws.cloudfront_public_key
