When was this bug's importance last considered?  It was opened in 2008.
Digital signing and validation of PDFs, including using multiple
timestamps from Time Stamp Authorities, is now commonplace on Windows
given support in Acrobat, commercial PDF-producing libraries, etc.  The
free desktop needs to catch up to be a part of that commercial world.
I'd suggest in the six years that this bug has been open the importance
has risen to high.  Please might it be re-appraised?

  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.
