Public-Key-Pins

HTTP response header

The HTTP Public-Key-Pins response header associates a specific cryptographic public key with a certain web server to decrease the risk of MITM attacks with forged certificates. If one or several keys are pinned and none of them are used by the server the browser will not accept the response as legitimate and will not display it.
