Also known as: SSL pinning, public key pinning

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

Certificate (or public-key) pinning makes an app trust only specific expected keys/certs — harder for attackers with rogue CAs to MITM the app.

Real-World Example

A banking app refusing a Charles Proxy cert even when the device trusts it is often using pinning.
