• How is Certificate (and Path) Validation done in Windows?

    Hello,
    I have a few questions actually...

    1) How is Certificate validation done in Windows?
    2) How is Certificate Path validation done in Windows?
    3) Is there a way to hook into the flow in order to perform my own Certificate validation??

    If I go to Local Security Policy > Public Key Policies, I can see there is something call Certificate Path Validation Settings. Is there a way to perhaps modify or add rules so that I can tell Windows to "run this for validation" or "do this for
    validation"?

    I am trying to write an application to perform real-time certificate validation for any certificate. But I don't think there is a way to directly hook into the process flow of Windows' certificate validation.
