What if they just do MITM with a Trusted root? Does HSTS provide a method to do cert pinning?

[โ€“] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

HSTS just enforces HTTPS over HTTP.

I seriously doubt Chrome or Firefox would ever be coerced into trusting a cert like that. If they did then you would see a very rapid shift away from those browsers to one or more of the open source alternatives.

And any CA that issued such a cert that allowed for wholesale MITM access like that would be blacklisted by all the browsers very quickly as well. That would put the CA out of business very quickly.
