VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

Make it more difficult for the bad guys to Man-In-The-Middle your users TLS sessions

use HTTP::Headers();
use HTTP::PublicKeyPins qw( pin_sha256 );

...
my $h = HTTP::Headers->new();
$h->header( 'Public-Key-Pins-Report-Only',
        'pin-sha256="'
      . pin_sha256('/etc/pki/tls/certs/example.pem')
      . '"; pin-sha256="'
      . pin_sha256('/etc/pki/tls/certs/backup.pem')
      . '"; report-uri="https://example.com/pkp-report.pl' );

OR

perl -MHTTP::PublicKeyPins=pin_sha256 -e 'print pin_sha256("example.pem") . "\n";'

DESCRIPTION

This module allows the calculation of RFC 7469 HTTP Public Key Pin header values. This can be used to verify your TLS session to a remote server has not been hit by a Man-In-The-Middle attack OR to instruct your users to ignore any TLS sessions to your web service that does not use your Public Key

EXPORT

pin_sha256

This function accepts the path to a certificate. It will load the public key from the certificate and prepare the appropriate value for the pin_sha256 parameter of the Public-Key-Pins value.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

None. This module only has the one exported function.

DIAGNOSTICS

None. Exceptions may be thrown by modules in the Dependencies below;

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
