The Security Impact of HTTPS Interception [pdf]
I was surprised by this note (on page 2):> Contrary to widespread belief, public key pinning [19] — an HTTPS feature that allows websites to restrict connections to a specific key — does not prevent this interception. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari only enforce pinned keys when a  certificate  chain  terminates  in  an  authority  shipped  with  the  browser  or operating system. The extra validation is skipped when the chain terminates in a locally installed root (i.e., a CA certificate installed by an administrator).Seems like a strange default to me. I feel like the user should be notified of this, for instance if they're using a work computer to access their bank account or something like that.
