Validator throws exception when getting back a Data packet that is not a certificate

Description
I find this problem when testing NDNS, where validator requests certificate from NDNS.
When validator receives back anything but a valid certificate, it throws an exception "BER decode error", which causes some applications to unexpectedly fail.
It is not possible to handle this exception inside the application, as it is getting thrown from the inside of Face::processEvents() loop.
- Description updated (diff)
Please attach a code snippet that reproduces this problem.
I think Validator shouldn't throw exception. If something is wrong, it should declare that validation has failed.
