How to implement SSL/TLS pinning in Node.js

With threat actors performing man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, having an SSL/TLS certificate is no longer a valid reason to trust an incoming connection. Consequently, developers are increasingly adopting SSL/TLS pinning, also known as certificate or public key pinning, as an additional measure to prove the authenticity and integrity of a connection.

In a Node.js application, SSL/TLS pinning adds an extra layer of security by preventing attackers from intercepting and tampering with the communication between the client and the server.
