[Public Key Pinning](https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/Public_Key_Pinning) (PKP) is a tool that boosts the safety of [SSL certificates](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/what-is-an-ssl-certificate/) by linking a website to its unique security key. This process ensures that the website you're visiting is real and not fake. PKP stops any attempts to trick your computer into connecting with a fraudulent website.
