Conceptually yes, but in OpenSAML Java, the SignatureTrustEngine impls
actually wrap up all of that inside the trust engine behavior, so all
you do is supply to the trust engine the trust material (either trusted
credential resolver or PKIX validation info resolver) and it just
handles it all as part of its validate(...) behavior.
