FWIW, there isn't really anything to have issue over with the actual

You are limited in the algorithms that your MS operating system will use for
the symmetric portion of the encryption and you have to work with
Microsoft's approach to certificate and key stores as opposed to something
like OpenSSL key stores, but the implementation of the algorithms are based
on the standards.

Ah, maybe that is one of my key disconnects. I did not know that
"client certificate authentication" is something defined in the SSL
standard. Maybe I should be googling for SSL info.
