BizTalk WCF-WebHttp Adapter SSL Certificate Props

What is the difference between Client Cert and Service Cert props in the security tab of WCF-BasicHttp, WCF-WebHttp adatpers based recv and send ports and how they are used by BizTalk for SSL authentication? The documentations are not that specific.

Seems reasonably clear in that article to me

The Client Certificate is the one you hold the private key for and is used for signing your messages so the recipient can verify who you are.

certificate for authenticating this send port to services

The Service Certificate is the public key of the service you are connecting too. This way it can verify that you are connecting to who you think you are connecting too.

certificate for authenticating the service to which this send port sends messages

This is not required "The default is an empty string." however it is a security feature that prevents someone successfully being able to spoof the web service and intercepting your payload if they manage to poison the DNS entry.
