[Ach] HTTP key pinning (HTKP)

[Aaron Zauner]

Wow. There seems to be a lot going on at the moment. This is still a
draft but might be relevant for future updates of our paper:


http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-key-pinning-11


```
   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 of the pinned fingerprints for that host.  By
   effectively reducing the number 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.
```

excellent!

Aaron
