If you don't know it, meet Peter Eckersley's warm, twinkling grin on the left.
We've now lost both of these fellows. Too. Damn. Soon.

Peter Eckersley was the first person I ever heard talk about researching the environmental cost of cryptocurrency. A really nice way to remember him would be to divest yourself from the blockchain (then go out for a bike ride, of course).

I only met Peter Eckersley a few times. This one time, I was in SF and emailed him to get a coffee. He replied with a flow chart presenting options for the Maker Faire, a cocktail bar, and driving out of town to observe a total eclipse. Never one to think inside the box. 🖤

The first time I met Peter Eckersley, he didn't ask "So what do you do?" but rather, "So, do you get to save the world?"
Words to light a path by.

Reading “How you unique is your web browser?” was a mind opening experience for me as I was just getting into security research. I did not know Eckersley personally, but his work has helped shape a generation of security and privacy research, including my own.

Peter's work transformed the web and made it more safe. He was of the unsung heroes and "loadbearers" of the modern internet. May his memory be a blessing!

Peter is the most generous and encouraging of friends. Also damned insightful. On one visit to SF, when few people knew I had arrived, I got a call from him out of the blue.
"Hey, SJ."
"Hey Peter! What's new?"
"What are you doing in the next hour?" /1
Peter kept that flame alive. He still wore black. He was still an unapologetic weirdo even in the halls of power. He still went off on wild tangents that found him curious, in front of the machine, in the wee hours.
He was a serious man who knew that life is about the unserious.

I know that Peter Eckersley understood this. He -- and other lost friends from the Class of 1993, like Aaron Swartz and Dan Kaminsky -- began working very early for a more humane and just Internet. They understood before anyone else how the technical and the political interweave.

Peter was a member of what I call the Class of 1993 -- the hackers who came of age as the first web browsers created the modern Internet. We found each other in those early online spaces, and built out this new digital world together. We never lost the optimism or the work ethic.

Really saddened to hear Peter Eckersley has died. I knew him and interviewed him for the film Internet’s Own Boy. He was a hard working visionary and we’ll all feel the loss of his efforts. RIP

Thank you @john_d_beatty for putting together a Wikipedia page for Peter Eckersley, who passed away suddenly last night. I hope folks who knew him will contribute. Peter worked tirelessly to make the world - online and offline - a better place. His legacy is important. twitter.com/john_d_beatty/…

Very sad to hear about Peter's passing, Eva. His commitment, passion and extraordinary capabilities for combining innovation with ethics (#AI, #CyberSecurity, #MachineLearning, #IoT and beyond) made an incredible impact on technology and society.

Peter Eckersley was just a fundamentally good person. We got to work together on projects, and then vehemently disagree on others. I don't think his demeanor to me changed one bit between those situations.
As JSR says, most of the people reading this are safer because of Peter.

There's a good chance that you're safer because of Peter Eckersley or things he got started.
He had a vision of how to make the web saver & more private with ubiquitous encryption (HTTPS Everywhere!) & quietly worked towards it.
This is a tragedy. twitter.com/bcrypt/status/…

I'm truly sorry for your and all of our loss. I didn't know Peter personally but I followed his work and used most of his projects from his time at @EFF. I noticed Peter wasn't in Wikipedia. I started a draft article and hope others will contribute: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pet

My small contribution to the canon of Peter Eckersley stories. We spent the summer collaborating last year at OpenAI. It coincided with a period in my life where many things changed abruptly and I was very lost and depressed.

Heartbroken that Peter Eckersley suddenly passed away last night much too young.
He had an incredible impact on the world and online safety.
Grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him years ago and been friends ever since. RIP Peter ❤️

We lost Peter Eckersley yesterday. He was a light in our community - super kind, super smart, full of life. It's hard to believe he's gone. I don't have words for it. Any age is too young, but he was too young. He had so much left to experience and do. I feel really really sad

He helped make your online life safer and more private with Let's Encrypt and HTTPS Everywhere, and fought relentlessly for a better internet. We lost a giant.

Peter Eckersley (@pde33) was my best friend, and one of the best friends I’ve ever had. He was the person (other than my wife) I saw most regularly and spent the most time with over the last 10 years; my life in San Francisco feels synonymous with our friendship.

Peter Eckersley, , passed away today. He built a more secure internet for all of us (Let's Encrypt, Certbot, + more), and advocated for both privacy and transparency to be applied with wisdom. Most recently he championed both AI and the reigns it needs to prevent harm.

Our friend (Peter Eckersley) passed away last night. We’re heartbroken — he was an incredibly rare mix of brilliance, joy, humility, and curiosity. Every conversation with him left us energized to be better humans, to think bigger, to ask more questions, to keep learning.

My last thoughts: Peter Eckersley lived a life of principle, brought joy to his friends, engaged deeply in trying to make the world better, and pursued eclectic and multidisciplinary intellectual pursuits with creativity. May we all strive to live up to that excellent example.

Peter Eckersley, who passed away today (suddenly, peacefully in the end, but much much too young) had an incredible optimism about changing the world. He'd throw himself into fixing intractable problems, and often by doing so, help solve them.

Deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Peter Eckersley.
Kind, brilliant and principled. Sensible when it mattered; eccentric when it didn't.
A huge loss to the field - and an example to try to live up to.

Peter was one of the most impactful, capable, humble, and kind people I've ever met. He is and will always be one of my role models.
Peter's early encouragement in my life led to much of who I am. He had this kind of impact on a lot of people.
I can't believe he's gone.
