This property is useful for notifying the user why an SSL connection failed.

This property can also be used to enforce stronger security than the default connection using the Certificate object returned. The BuildChainAsync methods and other properties on the Certificate object and methods on the CertificateChain object can be used when an app needs stronger security than the standard SSL negotiation.
