Research direction

Start in keylime/src/crypto.rs at lines 783-790, linked by the issue, and trace how certificates in trusted_client_ca are loaded. Done means an unreadable certificate no longer fails silently and produces a warning; check the surrounding tests or add coverage if the existing test structure supports it.
