Presumably the former is returned when the certificate is signed
by an unknown CA, which /typically/ – but by no means
/necessarily/ – implies a self-signed certificate. It’s of
course possible for the peer’s certificate to be signed by a CA
not known (or not trusted) by the user.
The latter would mean that the signing party is not a CA. That
is: the signer’s own certificate lacks the CA flag. (The
certificate will be also the peer’s own one in the self-signed
case.)
