The service com::sun::star::xml::crypto::SecurityEnvironment can be used to
verify certificates. Verification of a certificate can return a combination of
these values:

com::sun::star::security::CertificateValidity::INVALID
com::sun::star::security::CertificateValidity::UNKNOWN_REVOKATION

When one examines the certificate in the internet options dialog then the
certificate and its root certificate are displayed as valid.

The reason for this return value is a mapping from the platform dependent error
code:
CERT_TRUST_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN 

I suppose that this is the result of a missing Certificate Distribution Point
extension in the certificates. The Windows certificate dialog seems to ignore 
this.
I propose to change the service so that CERT_TRUST_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN 
does not result in returning CertificateValidity::Invalid. So that the calling
application can decide if it regards the certificate as trustworthy.

I've found a good article about the certificate handling in Windows:
