About
The Author
I’m J.C. Jones (he/him or they/them), and currently I am a Site Reliability Engineer at the Internet Security Research Group working on whatever needs doing, mostly involving performance and data management for Let’s Encrypt. In the past I led the Cryptography Engineering team at Mozilla. In 2014-15 I built-out and helped launch Let’s Encrypt. An even longer time ago I co-founded SAIFE, Inc. and purpose-built a high-performance public key infrastructure.
In 2023 and 2024 I helped organize an Open Source Cryptography Workshop as a co-located event after the Real World Crypto Symposium.
I was an editor of the Level 1 and Level 2 W3C Web Authentication specifications, as part of my goal of replacing passwords everywhere I can.
I’m also an active private pilot, an officer of the Phoenix Flyers flying club, and occasionally post about aviation topics under the heading aviation.
