A user site can, over time, collect many certificates. Typically, a site has certificates for the user of the site, and other certificates describing those individuals and entities with whom the user communicates. For each entity, there can be more than one certificate. For each individual certificate, there should be a chain of verifying certificates that provides a trail back to a trusted root certificate. Certificate stores and their related functions provide functionality to store, retrieve, enumerate, verify, and use the information stored in the certificates.
The following functions are used to work with the certificate stores, themselves.
CertAddStoreToCollection
CertCloseStore
CertControlStore
CertDuplicateStore
CertEnumPhysicalStore
CertEnumSystemStore
CertEnumSystemStoreLocation
CertGetStoreProperty
CertOpenStore
CertOpenSystemStore
