IoT Authorizer

IoT Authorizer in AWS is a custom authorization component for AWS IoT Core that allows you to define how devices and clients authenticate when connecting to the IoT message broker or Device Gateway. It enables the use of custom authentication logic, such as token-based systems or third-party identity providers, giving flexibility beyond standard AWS IoT authentication methods.
