The X509 certificate registered in AWS is needed to connect a Device to the AWS IoT Core.
The X509 certificate is used to authenticate the IoT Device. In other words, the Certificate is a proof of identity.
To be precise, not the X509 Certificate itself, but the corresponding Private Key.
That is why the Private Key should be generated and stored in a secure way on IoT Device.

There are multiple ways to crate and register an X509 certificate in AWS. Today I will present the create a certificate from CSR (Certificate Sign Request) approach.
