You mean checking downloaded image files signed by certificates?  Um,
I am not sure what you want to do this for in a _bootloader_  - sure
U-Boot gets big but its still no operating system :)  Honestly, I
don't understand the use for it, may be you can shed some more light
on this.

And just to consider the thought some more - I don't want to argue
with Wolfgang for the storage of the CA certificates :)

Cheers
  Detlev
