Overview#

CertificateRequest describes a Step within the TLS Handshake process.

The TLS server sends a message requesting that the TLS client also identifies itself with a Certificate of its own.

The CertificateRequest message contains the list of names of trust anchors (aka Root Certificates) that the server will use to validate the client certificate.
