### Public Key Pinning
[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.
:warning: Sometimes antivirus software — or some other [source](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/232#issuecomment-1732346856) — won't let you open websites ([example](https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/16mlv15/kaspersky_cant_scan_encrypted_connections_with/)).
```
// PREF: enforce certificate pinning
// [ERROR] MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_KEY_PINNING_FAILURE
user_pref("security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level", 2);
