if yes, could you point me to the part of the code that does this? If no, any plans to add that functionality?

thanks!

The app does not verify it. It would be nice to add, but I just don't have time to work on it. Pull requests are welcome, in case you decide to implement it.

I have just found a list of all master certificates issued by countries and the certificate revocation list. The information is collected and maintained by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a UN entity. Information describing the setup is in this presentation (a bit old - 2012). Quite possibly there is fresher and more definitive documentation source, if anyone finds it, please post here. @tananaev - would you be interested in using this information to taking a stab at implementing hashes, signature and certificate validation?

Unfortunately I don't have time to work on it.
