Use the SK and to-be-signed string as the input of the encryption hash function, and convert the calculated binary signature into a hexadecimal expression.

The pseudocode is as follows:

signature = HexEncode(HMAC(Secret Access Key, string to sign))

HMAC indicates hash calculation, and HexEncode indicates hexadecimal conversion. Table 1 describes the parameters in the pseudocode.

**Table 1** Parameter description
Parameter	Description
Secret Access Key	Signature key
string to sign	Character string to be signed

If the SK is MFyfvK41ba2giqM7Uio6PznpdUKGpownRZlmVmHc, the calculated signature is as follows:
