IIRC... That is in reference to libpkix, the certificate validation component of NSS. I believe Mozilla developers are working on a replacement for it, called mozilla::pkix, in large part due to libpkix being overly complex. Last time I checked mozilla::pkix was pretty far along.

It landed on Nightly a week ago, check it out! You can help us by testing it [0] or reviewing the code [1].

To be even more precise, this new certificate validation library is the current default in nightly (ff-31), testing is welcome.
