Answer 1

From the PHP documentation for Amazon S3 Pre-Signed URL :

You can authenticate certain types of requests by passing the required information as query-string parameters instead of using the Authorization HTTP header. This is useful for enabling direct third-party browser access to your private Amazon S3 data, without proxying the request. The idea is to construct a "pre-signed" request and encode it as a URL that an end-user's browser can retrieve. Additionally, you can limit a pre-signed request by specifying an expiration time.

Basically, you can programatically generate a URL that permits time-limited access to an Amazon S3 object.
