Hello,
Here the message (response to gnu.org #388183) I'd like to post:
----------------------------------------------------------------

The power point presentation
http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/media/archive/1894.pps#259 shows the
differences concerning the two different validation models.
I furthermore found a note that indicates that in germany the chain model is
required (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/admin_guide.pdf section
5.4.4.2)
I did not have a detailed look into the implementation yet, so I am not
sure if gnutls offers one function for a certificate chain validation
or if you have to implement the verification of the chain on your own
and gnutls only offers the functions for that.

Well, except for the power point presentation I could not find much
references in the internet concerning the validation models. But my
current assumption is that the models apply to both types of certificates.
Thanks for the infos.
Scott
