security: validator needed #48

Closed tianyuan129 closed 5 years ago

Current design requires knowing data producers' public keys in advance. A validator is needed to automatically fetch producers' certificates and validates them in the certificate chain. However, considering the memory limit, we don't cache them, but trace them in the certificate chain (maybe until reach the trust anchor).
