PROFILE

Dana Keeler

Worked across multiple Mozilla repositories to deliver features and improvements in certificate management, security, and documentation. In mozilla/gecko-dev, migrated CA telemetry tooling from xpcshell to Python, updated telemetry metrics, and implemented Certificate Transparency tiled log support, using C++ and Python to enhance reliability and compliance. Addressed Android client authentication by refining CA name encoding and expanded test coverage for RFC6962. In mozilla-mobile/staging-firefox-ios, refactored certificate retrieval in Swift to reduce network overhead and improve user experience. Contributed to MDN and content documentation, clarifying Certificate Transparency requirements for Firefox desktop and Android, reducing deployment risk and supporting developer onboarding.

March 2026: Delivered a certificate management refactor and integration for TrackingProtection in mozilla-mobile/staging-firefox-ios, eliminating unnecessary URLSession calls and embedding certificate retrieval directly in TrackingProtectionViewController to boost performance and reliability. Implemented bug fix FXIOS-32351 to avoid redundant network calls when obtaining certificates. The change reduces network overhead, shortens certificate retrieval latency, and simplifies maintenance, delivering measurable improvements to user experience and security-related UX.

January 2026 MDN content repo: Focused on clarifying Certificate Transparency requirements for Mozilla Root CA Program certificates. Delivered a documentation update to specify CT log inclusion for Firefox desktop (from version 135) and Firefox for Android (from version 145). The change aligns MDN guidance with Mozilla's security standards and reduces deployment risk by clearly outlining CT expectations for operators issuing these certificates.

June 2025 monthly summary for mozilla/gecko-dev: Replaced an xpcshell script with a Python-based tool for generating CA telemetry IDs by reading certdata.txt, updated telemetry metrics by appending '_2' to their names, and retired legacy histograms. This reduces dependencies, simplifies telemetry pipelines, and improves data quality and maintainability. Collaboration with the telemetry and code style reviewers ensured robust changes and alignment with project standards.

January 2025: Delivered a targeted documentation update to clarify Firefox Certificate Transparency (CT) requirements, distinguishing desktop vs Android behavior and aligning with Mozilla Root CA program CT policy starting from Firefox version 135. The change reduces onboarding ambiguity for developers and strengthens security posture by making CT expectations explicit across platforms.
