AWS IOT JITR (Just in Time registration) with Thing and Policy creation using JAVA

AWS IOT JITR with Thing and Policy creation using JAVA. This POC will provide Just In Time Registration (JITR) of custom certificate and Thing creation with connect policy for AWS IOT Devices. You just need to add name of thing in common name while creation of device certificate and thing will be created with attached policy & certificate and common name as thing name. Project Overview: Get certificate details from certificate id. Parse certificate details and get common name from certificate. Creates IOT policy having action of connect. Creates IOT thing with name from certificate common name. Attach policy and thing to certificate. Activate Certificate. Now your device can connect to AWS using this custom certificate. Step for JITR & Thing creation Create CA Certificate: openssl genrsa -out CACertificate.key 2048 openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key CACertificate.key -sha256 -days 365 -out CACertificate.pem Enter necessary details like city, country, et
