I think we can be confident that sites that don't even use CSP won't be implementing Expect-CT any time.

- seanmcelroy 9y agoHPKP is what the article you posted to is referring to, and probably will go away completely. However, profiling the public key of the site a mobile app connects to and erroring out if it is compromised to prevent MitM attacks is called 'certificate pinning' for mobile apps but is not related to the HPKP pinning of browsers.

- asterius 9y agoIt seems grandiose to call that 'certificate pinning' when it is just hard coding, e.g. a self-signed CA cert or (worse) a particular server cert. Makes me suspect that a lot of client side validation is happening with mobile apps.
