Certification Path Providers
A Certification Path provider completes and validates certificate chains by using trusted Certificate Authority based checking. The provider checks the signatures in the chain, ensures that the chain has not expired, and checks that one of the certificates in the chain is issued by one of the server's trusted Certificate Authorities. If any of these checks fail, the chain is not valid. The provider optionally checks the certificate chain's basic constraints.
