Bundle signing certificate handling in P2 [message #1745199]

P2 will warn if unsigned jars are being installed, but it does not seem to check for certificate validity. I am able to install jars signed with an expired certificate without warnings or errors. From looking at the code, I suspect the same is true for revoked certificates. Can someone explain the current implementation and what the expected behaviour is?

I was curious about this too. From looking at the code, the certificate verification is handled by the CertificateChecker, created by the CheckTrust phase implementation. The CertificateChecker uses the OSGi SignedContentFactory to check the signed status.

Equinox provides a single implementation, SignedBundleHook. It uses a osgi.signedcontent.support property, and maybe one of those options will help?
