From 0e76014e584ba78ef1d6ecb4572391ef61c4fb51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viktor Dukhovni Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2016 02:33:14 -0500 Subject: Drop cached certificate signature validity flag It seems risky in the context of cross-signed certificates when the same certificate might have multiple potential issuers. Also rarely used, since chains in OpenSSL typically only employ self-signed trust-anchors, whose self-signatures are not checked, while untrusted certificates are generally ephemeral.
