Getting a representation of the certificate for the "tab" is a bit of work.

Getting it for the document the <input> is in goes like this:

   nsCOMPtr<nsISupports> cert;
   NodePrincipal()->GetCertificate(getter_AddRefs(cert));
   if (cert) {
     // Can now QI cert to nsIX509Cert, nsIX509Cert2, nsIX509Cert3,
     // extract whatever you want.
   }
