Brian Russell is a chief engineer focused on cyber security solutions for Leidos
(https://www.leidos.com/). He oversees the design and development of security
solutions and the implementation of privacy and trust controls for customers,
with a focus on securing Internet of Things (IoT). Brian leads efforts that include
security engineering for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and connected vehicles
and development security systems, including high assurance cryptographic key
management systems. He has 16 years of information security experience. He serves
as chair of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Internet of Things (IoT) Working
Group, and as a member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Technological Advisory Council (TAC) Cybersecurity Working Group. Brian
also volunteers in support of the Center for Internet Security (CIS) 20 Critical
Security Controls Editorial Panel and the Securing Smart Cities (SSC) Initiative
(http://securingsmartcities.org/).

I would like to thank my wife, Charmae, and children, Trinity and
Ethan. Their encouragement and love during my time collaboration
on this project has been invaluable. I would also like to thank all
the great volunteers and staff of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA)
Internet of Things (IoT) Working Group, who have worked with
me over the past few years to better understand and recommend
solutions for IoT security. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents,
without whom I would not have the drive to complete this book.

Drew Van Duren currently works at Leidos as a senior cryptographic and
cybersecurity engineer, highlighting 15 years of support to commercial, US
Department of Defense, and US Department of Transportation (USDOT) customers
in their efforts to secure vital transportation and national security systems. Originally
an aerospace engineer, his experience evolved into cyber-physical (transportation
system) risk management, secure cryptographic communications engineering, and
secure network protocol design for high assurance DoD systems. Drew has provided
extensive security expertise to the Federal Aviation Administration's Unmanned
Aircraft Systems (UAS) integration office and supported RTCA standards body in
the development of cryptographic protections for unmanned aircraft flying in the US
National Airspace System. He has additionally supported USDOT Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the automotive industry in threat modeling and security
analysis of connected vehicle communications design, security systems, surface
transportation systems, and cryptographic credentialing operations via the connected
vehicle security credential management system (SCMS). Prior to his work in the
transportation industry, Drew was a technical director, managing two of the largest
(FIPS 140-2) cryptographic testing laboratories and frequently provided cryptographic
key management and protocol expertise to various national security programs. He
is a licensed pilot and flies drone systems commercially, and is also a co-founder
of Responsible Robotics, LLC, which is dedicated to safe and responsible flight
operations for unmanned aircraft.

I would first like to thank my wife, Robin, and children, Jakob and
Lindsey, for their immense love, humor, and patience that shone
brightly as I collaborated on this book. They were always keen
to provide the diversions when I needed them the most. I would
also like to thank my parents for their unceasing love, discipline,
and encouragement to pursue diverse interests—model making,
engineering, aviation, and music—in my formative years. More than
anything, playing the cello has enriched and centered me amid life's
demands. Lastly, my gratitude goes to my departed grandparents,
especially my maternal grandfather, Arthur Glenn Foster, whose
unquenchable scientific and engineering inquisitiveness provided
just the footsteps I needed in my young life.
