Binary value of the serial/issuer encoded as base 64. You can look at source file nsIdentityChecking (I think I reference it on the wiki page) and look at examples. I have updated the page in the hope to clarify things. Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421989 has a patch to the pp tool that helps to dump those fields in the expected format.
