KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Only public keys, with certificates signed by an existing
'trusted' key on the system trusted keyring, should be added
to a trusted keyring.  This patch adds support for verifying
a certificate's signature.

This is derived from David Howells pkcs7_request_asymmetric_key() patch.
