Rich Salz
Pronouns: he/him
I first got involved with the IETF back when I worked at BBN, reading the Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) internet-drafts; my first acknowledgement was in RFC 2616. Over time, I become more involved in the definition of standards, along with their development and deployment. I wrote INN, the major Usenet/NNTP implementation. For a number of years, I was a member of the OpenSSL project. It was the dominant SSL/TLS implementation (it probably still is, even today).
Most of my career has been on one side of Cambridge, Massachusetts (Alewife) or the other (Kendall Square). I joined Akamai toward the end of 2012. I focus on making things more secure and easier, and helping Akamai implement IETF standards more quickly.
I firmly believe diversity and representation is important.
