You normally don't need these.

These are for *client* side certificates, where you use a
certificate to authenticate towards the server. Like a login
procedure, but with certificates instead of username/password.

These determine if/how libcurl verifies the validity of the
server certificate. Validation is turned on by default; you
can disable it with the VERIFYPEER option.

See the curl_easy_setopt man page - it has much more details
about all of these settings.
