Certificate Patrol

Introduction

libcertpatrol implements public key pinning for TLS using a trust on first use (TOFU) model.

It is intended as a fallback mechanism when there’s no pinning protocol in use by the server, such as DANE or TACK.

It is described in more detail in https://gnunet.org/tofu-pinning
