Research direction

Start by locating _verify_signature_with_pubkey(), verify(), and VerifyResult in the Python package, then trace the non-X.509 verification path. Review the existing documentation before updating it; the work is done when the successful verification key is available through VerifyResult and the behavior is documented.
