SSL Pinning

1. What's SSL Pinning?

"SSL Pinning is making sure the client checks the server’s certificate against a known copy of that certificate.

Simply bundle your server’s SSL certificate inside your application, and make sure any SSL request first validates

that the server’s certificate exactly matches the bundle’s certificate. " Ref[1]

"The method used to do this is: connection:willSendRequestForAuthenticationChallenge: inside the NSURLConnectionDelegate protocol.

This method gets called when an SSL connection is made, giving you, the programmer, a chance to inspect the authentication

challenge and either proceed or fail." Ref[1]
