Hi all,

This is just a quick interim version to respond to Tom Ritter's bugs
that he filed in the issue tracker. We still have some issues to
resolve around pin activation (à la TACK), max-age, and whether and
how to perform pin validation when X.509 chains chain up to private
trust anchors.

Any other issues anyone wants to raise? Thanks.

Abstract:
   This memo describes an extension to the HTTP protocol allowing web
   host operators to instruct user agents (UAs) to remember ("pin") the
   hosts' cryptographic identities for a given period of time.  During
   that time, UAs will require that the host present a certificate chain
   including at least one Subject Public Key Info structure whose
   fingerprint matches one or more of the pinned fingerprints for that
   host.  By effectively reducing the scope of authorities who can
   authenticate the domain during the lifetime of the pin, pinning may
   reduce the incidence of man-in-the-middle attacks due to compromised
   Certification Authorities and other authentication errors and
   attacks.
