[PATCH5/7] PKCS#7: Verify internal certificate chain

David Howells dhowells at redhat.com
Tue Jul 8 06:15:38 PDT 2014


Verify certificate chain in the X.509 certificates contained within the PKCS#7
message as far as possible.  If any signature that we should be able to verify
fails, we reject the whole lot.
