Description

Currently, I believe that when the inclusion proof is verified, the checkpoint is not. Verifying the checkpoint is important since it ties the inclusion proof to the log, since the checkpoint is signed by the log. Without the checkpoint, you're verifying against an untrusted root hash with no link back to the log.

The Rekor public key, the same key used for verifying the SET, should be used to verify the checkpoint.
