=head1 DESCRIPTION
+ossl_cmp_build_cert_chain() builds up the chain of intermediate CA certificates
+starting from of the given certificate B<cert> as high up as possible using
+the given list of candidate certificates, similarly to ssl_add_cert_chain().
+It internally uses a B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure associated with the library
+context I<libctx> and property query string I<propq>, both of which may be NULL.
+Intended use of this function is to find all the certificates above the trust
+anchor needed to verify an EE's own certificate.
+Those are supposed to be included in the ExtraCerts field of every first
+CMP message of a transaction when MSG_SIG_ALG is utilized.
+This allocates a stack and increments the reference count of each cert,
+so when not needed any more the stack and all its elements should be freed.
+In case there is more than one possibility for the chain,
+OpenSSL seems to take the first one; check X509_verify_cert() for details.
+
ossl_cmp_msg_protect() (re-)protects the given message B<msg> using an algorithm
depending on the available context information given in the B<ctx>.
If there is a secretValue it selects PBMAC, else if there is a protection cert
