how to setup mutual authentication/bidirectional certificate on windows using open ssl and wamp

Question

I am not sure where to begin exactly, I am trying to build a proof of concept to allow for encryption of internal applications data transmission over tcp/ip to a middleware application (also housed internally) and then from that middleware app to a destination application (again internal).

I'm making the assumption (right now since its just aa proof of concept model) that all 3 systems can handle sending and receiving encrypted data.

Thanks for the help!
