[PATCH05/17] PKCS#7: Find the right key in the PKCS#7 key list and verify the signature

Wed Jul 9 08:15:57 PDT 2014


Find the appropriate key in the PKCS#7 key list and verify the signature with
it.  There may be several keys in there forming a chain.  Any link in that
chain or the root of that chain may be in our keyrings.
