I'm curious when is "Trusted People" and "Trusted Devices" folder used in the Windows Certificate Store. I'm asking because I need to store Leaf (Personal) Certificates of other parties somewhere. This is a desktop application, I don't want to implement some kind of own store, using the Windows Cert Store seems reasonable.

I need to store the Certificate of other parties as kind of a certificate pinning feature. So the TLS connection would only be accepted if the Certificate chain is valid (I trust the root of the sent certificate) and the certificate that I got from the server is also there in either in the "Trusted People" or "Trusted Devices". My only concern is that I don't know what Windows uses these folders for.

Thank you
