Note: all examples use {reuse_sessions, false} to make sure session won't be reused and ssl:connect will give you different result when changing fingerprints/hostnames, etc. Perhaps this should be removed in production.

We can pin public key using its hex or base64 representation as well as fingerprint
Using github.com as example lets extract public key
openssl x509 -inform DER -pubkey -noout -in /tmp/github.com.der

Openssl prints public key encoded using base64 format. It can be used like that:
ssl:connect("github.com", 443, [{verify_fun,
{fun ssl_verify_pk:verify_fun/3,
[{check_pk, {base64,
"MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA54hc8pZclxgcupjiA/F/"++

{verify, verify_none},
{reuse_sessions, false}]).
{ok,{sslsocket,{gen_tcp,#Port<0.2167>,tls_connection,
undefined},
<0.60.0>}}If you don't want to expose public ceritificate or just want to save space,
you can validate public key fingerprint.
ssl:connect("github.com", 443, [{verify_fun,
{fun ssl_verify_pk:verify_fun/3,
[{check_pk, {sha,
"D4EE9D2A6712B3614C272D158B04FCC8CA08A0B6" } }]}},
{verify, verify_none},
{reuse_sessions, false}]).
{ok,{sslsocket,{gen_tcp,#Port<0.2744>,tls_connection,
undefined},
<0.73.0>}}As you can see I just copy-pasted Key SHA1 Fingerprint value and removed spaces. It's that easy!
Excerpt from RFC (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125)
6.4.3. Checking of Wildcard Certificates
1. The client SHOULD NOT attempt to match a presented identifier in
which the wildcard character comprises a label other than the
left-most label (e.g., do not match bar.*.example.net).
2. If the wildcard character is the only character of the left-most
label in the presented identifier, the client SHOULD NOT compare
against anything but the left-most label of the reference
identifier (e.g., *.example.com would match foo.example.com but
not bar.foo.example.com or example.com).
3. The client MAY match a presented identifier in which the wildcard
character is not the only character of the label (e.g.,
baz*.example.net and *baz.example.net and b*z.example.net would
be taken to match baz1.example.net and foobaz.example.net and
buzz.example.net, respectively). However, the client SHOULD NOT
attempt to match a presented identifier where the wildcard
character is embedded within an A-label or U-label [IDNA-DEFS] of
an internationalized domain name [IDNA-PROTO].
6.4.4. Checking of Common Names
As noted, a client MUST NOT seek a match for a reference identifier
of CN-ID if the presented identifiers include a DNS-ID, SRV-ID,
URI-ID, or any application-specific identifier types supported by the
client.
Therefore, if and only if the presented identifiers do not include a
DNS-ID, SRV-ID, URI-ID, or any application-specific identifier types
supported by the client, then the client MAY as a last resort check
for a string whose form matches that of a fully qualified DNS domain
name in a Common Name field of the subject field (i.e., a CN-ID). If
the client chooses to compare a reference identifier of type CN-ID
against that string, it MUST follow the comparison rules for the DNS
domain name portion of an identifier of type DNS-ID, SRV-ID, or
URI-ID, as described under Section 6.4.1, Section 6.4.2, and
Section 6.4.3.
- With SSL lib or HTTP client you can use provided verify_fun/3, do not forget to add
check_hostnamekey to user state:
CACertFile = "..../my-ca.pem".
ssl:connect("tv.eurosport.com", 443, [{verify_fun,
{fun ssl_verify_hostname:verify_fun/3,
[{check_hostname, "tv.eurosport.com"}]}},
{cacertfile, CACertFile },
{server_name_indication, "tv.eurosport.com"},
{reuse_sessions, false},
{verify, verify_peer},
{depth, 99}]).

Unfortunately as you can see OTP SSL error reporting not so informative (in fact it ignores everything user-provided verify_fun returns as failure reason (8 October 2014))
path_validation_alert(Reason) ->
?ALERT_REC(?FATAL, ?HANDSHAKE_FAILURE).- With custom verify_fun:
Call
verify_cert_hostname/2with Certificate and Hostname.
