Yes, you are correct.  gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify() does verify the
times.

I meant to write that gnutls_x509_crt_verify() does not the times.

However, we are still confused on how to get from a
gnutls_certificate_credentials_t struct to the list of certificates
that we can pass to gnutls_x509_crt_list_verify().

Thanks.
