When the hash algorithm for the signature is not available the digest size is 0 and the signature in the certificate is marked as unsupported. When validating a self-signed certificate, this needs to be checked, because otherwise trying to validate the signature will fail with an warning: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at crypto/rsa-pkcs1pad.c:537 \ pkcs1pad_verify+0x46/0x12c ...
