Comment on Chrome: From NSS to OpenSSLparent

Comments

Note that NSS contains a classic certificate verification engine, which was originally written in C.

The above statement refers to an external contribution that was added to NSS. It added a second validation engine to NSS, libpkix.

It's true that the libpkix portion is very complicated code, but the above statement doesn't apply to NSS in general.
