Both ends of a secured connection validate (authenticate) their peers' certificate (mutual authentication), including the issuing certificate authority.
To this end, both parties must have trust in the third-party certificate authority. ENC uses the Microsoft SCHANNEL TLS provider, and subsequently the WinTrust library, to enforce the certificate trust. The trust of the root (and possibly) intermediate certificates is provided by the operating system, using the certificate store and APIs.
