Provides access to the AWS credentials used for accessing AWS services: AWS access key ID and secret access key. These credentials are used to securely sign requests to AWS services.

A basic implementation of this interface is provided in BasicAWSCredentials, but callers are free to provide their own implementation, for example, to load AWS credentials from an encrypted file.
