This is a Wikipedia home for Peter Eckersley.

Various things I've done in my non-wikipedia life: worked as Director of Research at the Partnership on AI, for many years as the Chief Computer Scientist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, co-founded Let's Encrypt, co-created HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger and Certbot, and organised various tech policy iniatives.
