BinaryEquals

BinaryEquals compares a binary value in a request to a list of base64-encoded string representations in your policy. There are no known binary context keys, but this is put here for completeness.

To match a request, the context key must exist in the request and must match at least one of the base64-encoded string representations in your policy.

You can NOT use policy variables in the value of this operator.

  ]
}

When the Request Context has:

aws:BinaryKey: null

Then the result is:

Not Allowed Statement does not apply

Given the Policy Condition:

  "aws:BinaryKey": [
    "YmFzZUBjbG91ZGNvcGlsb3QuaW8=",

  ]
}

When the Request Context has:

    YmFzZUBjbG91ZGNvcGlsb3QuaW8=

Then the result is:

Allowed Assuming no explicit Deny elsewhere

  "aws:BinaryKey": [
