see Certificate and Public Key Pinning for more context

Provides support for HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP).

Since Section 4.1 states that a value on the order of 60 days (5,184,000 seconds) may be considered a good balance, we use this value as the default. This can be customized using setMaxAgeInSeconds(long).

Because Appendix B recommends that operators should first deploy public key pinning by using the report-only mode, we opted to use this mode as default. This can be customized using setReportOnly(boolean).

Since we need to validate a certificate chain, the "Public-Key-Pins" or "Public-Key-Pins-Report-Only" header will only be added when ServletRequest.isSecure() returns true.

To set the pins you first need to extract the public key information from your certificate or key file and encode them using Base64. The following commands will help you extract the Base64 encoded information from a key file, a certificate signing request, or a certificate.

 openssl rsa -in my-key-file.key -outform der -pubout | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl enc -base64

 openssl req -in my-signing-request.csr -pubkey -noout | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl enc -base64

 openssl x509 -in my-certificate.crt -pubkey -noout | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl enc -base64

The following command will extract the Base64 encoded information for a website.

 openssl s_client -servername www.example.com -connect www.example.com:443 | openssl x509 -pubkey -noout | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl enc -base64
