- An obsolete Internet security mechanism based on an HTTP header (
Public-Key-Pins) which allows HTTPS websites to resist impersonation by attackers using mis-issued or otherwise fraudulent digital certificates. A server uses the header to deliver a set of hashes of public keys to the client (e.g., a web browser) that must appear in the certificate chain of future connections to the same domain name. ← Wikipedia
