Syntax

public static class DropboxCertHelper

Remarks

Dropbox recommends that all clients implement certificate pinning and this class provides implementation for desktop and server application as InitializeCertPinning(). Unfortunately it isn't currently possible to implement this in a portable assembly, so this class also provides methods to help implement this.

For more information about certificate pinning see Certificate and Public Key Pinning.

These helper methods allow client code to check if the certificate used by a Dropbox server was issued with a certificate chain that originates with a root certificate that Dropbox either currently uses, or may use in the future. These methods would be called before calling the DropboxClient constructor.
