This class is passed to a handshake function to check the other
party's certificate chain.
If a handshake function completes successfully, but the Checker
judges the other party's certificate chain to be missing or
inadequate, a subclass of
:py:class:`tlslite.errors.TLSAuthenticationError`
will be raised.
Currently, the Checker can check an X.509 chain.

fingerprint which the other party's end-entity certificate must
match.

re-checking it.
