http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/#details http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/#details By default, files delivered through Amazon CloudFront are publicly readable by anyone on the Internet. However, if you require greater control over who can download or stream your files, you can use Amazon CloudFront’s private content feature. When this option is enabled, Amazon CloudFront will only deliver files or stream media when you say it is okay to do so by securely signing your requests. There is no additional charge for using the private content feature. I don't get it, signed requests? But private CDN sounds very good.

It's described here: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/index.html?PrivateContent.html http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/De... It works mostly like S3 signed requests (last section of the following URL): http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/RESTAuthentication.html#RESTAuthenticationQueryStringAuth http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/RESTAuthen... ... except with an added step of making a CloudFront identity that is the only entity allowed to access the S3 object behind what you want to serve via CloudFront.
