  OpenSSL::HMAC.digest(OpenSSL::Digest::Digest.new(digest), key, value)
end

.sign(secret, string_to_sign, digest_method = 'sha256') ⇒ String

Signs a string using the credentials stored in memory.

Parameters:

• secret (String) —

  Usually an AWS secret access key.

• string_to_sign (String) —

  The string to sign.
