Thanks! I would agree with the other comments that there is not much
point in using a hexdump of binary data over D-Bus, so I hope that you
can modify this to address that part for the certificate data. In
addition, the patch broke the build here:

Is that really in the correct data structure or is this a merge error of
some sort?
