    x509 certificate for WCF with username password authentication

    I used the guide lines on the link attached to create my WCF service that uses a custom username password validation. This site talks about creating a certificate using self cert utility which is used in the following section of configuration. Can someone help me understand why the certificate is needed. I don't see any mention of this in the code code username password validator class.
    Guidelines link: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...sword-authenti

    Code:
    <behaviors>
            <serviceBehaviors>
                <behavior name="Behavior1">
                    <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
                    <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
                    <serviceCredentials> 
                        <serviceCertificate findValue="MyWebSite" 
                              storeLocation="LocalMachine"
                              storeName="My" 
                              x509FindType="FindBySubjectName" />
                        <userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom"
                         customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="CustomUsernamePasswordAuth.
                            Service.UserNamePassValidator, CustomUsernamePasswordAuth.Service" />
                    </serviceCredentials>
                </behavior>             
            </serviceBehaviors>
