 Hi Nick, during the Iceland dev meeting you expressed an interest in
 expanding stem to check consensus signatures as part of work related to
 guards.

 Stem has a soft dependency on the pycrypto module. If it's present then
 stem presently
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/blob/HEAD:/stem/descriptor/server_descriptor.py#l717
 validates server descriptor fingerprints and digests]. Patches are
 certainly welcome to expand stem's ability to validate descriptor
 documents. If you have any questions then let me know!
