Does Android's WebView support HSTS?

Does Android WebView support HSTS?

Solution

  • Yes, second this website: http://caniuse.com/#search=hsts since android 4.4

    Main changes:

    Certificate pinning

    Trusted CA's

    Add CA's to debug

    Limit CA's

    Add CA's hierarchy...

    But the most important thing will be enabled on the new android N in an res/xml/network_security_config.xml like this: https://koz.io/network-security-policy-configuration-for-android-apps/

    <domain-config hstsEnforced=[True|False] cleartextTrafficPermitted=[True|False]>  
   <domain includeSubdomains=[True|False]>koz.io</domain>
   <pin-set expiration="exp-date">
     <pin digest=sha256>PaJOmDNhWkVBvuXfzqXMyfo7kgtGpcyZp6L8EqvM8Ck=</pin>
</pin-set>

    This is the official documentation from google: https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-config.html
