The CSecureChannelServer class helps a plug-in (service provider or secure content provider) authenticate an application using the IComponentAuthenticate interface. The authentication process requires that the application create a CSecureChannelClient object and the component create a CSecureChannelServer object. The CSecureChannelClient and CSecureChannelServer classes are declared in the static link library, Mssachlp.lib. All methods of Windows Media Device Manager, service provider, and secure content provider interfaces can return WMDM_E_NOTCERTIFIED to indicate that the caller has not authenticated successfully.

The CSecureChannelServer class exposes the following methods.
