What is a TRANSPORTSECURITY file?

TRANSPORTSECURITY files mostly belong to Safari. The TRANSPORTSECURITY file is a configuration file that stores HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) settings in JSON format. It tells browsers which sites must always use HTTPS to ensure secure communication.
These files are used internally by browsers such as Safari and Google Chrome and contain details like hostnames and policy durations. They help enforce strict transport security to prevent downgrade attacks and other vulnerabilities.
Key points as outlined by FilExt.com include:
  • Security Enforcement: Lists specific hosts that require secure (HTTPS) connections.
  • Automatic Management: Browsers update the file automatically based on security policy rules.
  • Integrity Assurance: Designed to maintain and enforce security settings without user intervention.
  • FilExt.com note: Even though the file is in JSON and can be viewed in any text editor, it is not meant for manual editing. For more context, you may refer to the Safari support page or check similar resources for Chrome.
