Generate a Mock Presigned URL in Python with HMAC
Build a mock AWS S3 presigned URL using an HMAC-SHA256 signature, mimicking the core SigV4 pattern without cloud SDK dependencies.

import hmac
import time
import base64
def generate_presigned_url_mock(secret_key, bucket, object_key, expires_in=3600):
# Build the canonical request string (simplified AWS SigV4 style)
timestamp = str(int(time.time()))
expiry = str(int(time.time()) + expires_in)

Evaluate an AWS-style IAM policy dict with explicit deny overriding allow and default deny.
import json
def evaluate_policy(action, resource, policy):
"""Evaluate an IAM-like policy dict.
Explicit deny wins over allow. Default is deny.
"""
for statement in policy.get("Statement", []):
effect = statement.get("Effect")
actions = statement.get("Action", [])
