Is it necessary to verify a signature against the entire certificate chain?

Viewed 18

The sender application has a certificate that has been signed by an Intermediate Certificate which has been signed by a Root CA. This means the certificate chain has three levels.

The sender application signs data files using openssl and sends them to the receiver.

Does the receiver need to have the certificates of all the three members of the chain to verify the signature of the data file?
