Description

Allow for loading of a set of CA certificates (or support for the OpenSSL CApath) and verification if the signatures on the certificates were made by the CAs.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current TLS handshake code in tlslite ng, understand how certificates are currently handled, and implement loading of CA certificates using a custom set or OpenSSL's CApath. Then add signature verification logic.
