Difference between SSL authentication and Mutual SSL Authentication.
In SSL authentication, the client is presented with a server's certificate, the client computer might try to match the server's CA against the client's list of trusted CAs. If the issuing CA is trusted, the client will verify that the certificate is authentic and has not been tampered with. This is also known as 1-way SSL authentication.
Whereas in mutual SSL authentication, both client and server authenticate each other through the digital certificate so that both parties are assured of the others' identity. This is also known as 2-way SSL authentication.
