Amazon Cognito
A managed user identity and access management service from Amazon AWS that supports user pool management, OAuth 2.0 and JWT token issuance, and third-party federated identity authentication. It is commonly used for authentication in web and mobile applications, providing scalable user directory and authorization capabilities.

AgentCore Gateway uses the Signature V4 mechanism for inbound authentication and automatically creates a Cognito URL as an authentication credential.
The security core of this solution is JWT-based inbound authentication, accomplished through the collaboration of three components: AWS IAM Identity Center, Amazon Cognito, and JWT token validation.
In this solution, IAM Identity Center serves as the upstream identity source, passing authentication results to Cognito, which then issues JWTs based on those results.
Both IAM Identity Center and Cognito are native AWS services, so teams that have already deployed Claude within the AWS ecosystem can adopt this solution without introducing third-party identity systems.
