By unverified, do you mean self-signed as well? Too many devices and servers 
use self-signed certs to exclude them. The whole point to self signed certs is 
so that the world is not forced to purchase a cert from an authority for every 
single device in order to be relatively secure.

For devices outside a network then yes, certs need to be issued by a trusted 
authority, but that is the whole point of asking the user. I know I can trust 
my copier cert. I do NOT know if I can trust 
microsoft.com<http://microsoft.com>_mie_.de.

Not sure if this is relevant to this conversation.

I believe that it's a really really bad idea to download completely unverified 
certificates and permanently add them to the list of certs that your app trusts 
implicitly.
