-The certificate that will be used to check the signature will first be determined by calling `.getCertFromKeyInfo()`, which function you can customize as you see fit.

+The certificate that will be used to check the signature will first be determined by calling `.getCertFromKeyInfo()`, which function you can customize as you see fit. If that returns `null`, then `publicCert` is used. If that is `null`, then `privateKey` is used (for symmetrical signing applications). If you do not want to trust any embedded `<KeyInfo />` node, preferring to validate the signature using a provided `publicCert`, you can set `getCertFromKeyInfo` to return `null`.
