I think defaulting to verification makes sense as the "non destructive
thing to do".

validation"?

Honestly i don't think spending much time on discussing the option name
makes much sense, we just need to document it properly and that's it.

Yep.

Title:
  verify digital signatures

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  This is a feature request to verify digital signatures.  I'm receiving more 
and more digitally signed PDF's and evince already acknowledges them with:
  Signature Not Verified
  Digitally signed by <signer>
  Date:  <time stamp>
  Reason: <reason>
  Location: <location>
  but it would be great if Evince would be integrated into the distro's 
ca-certificate infrastructure to verify these signatures.
