Lyndon Pierson

•Lyndon Pierson is a Hardware/Software Security Design Engineer with over 35 years experience in high speed secure communications, network security, and information assurance.

•A “Senior Scientist Emeritus” from Sandia National Laboratories, his recent work has focused on the use of Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) to improve the "secret-keeping" required for securing key management systems from attack by sophisticated adversaries, and on employing diversely implemented redundant systems to increase the adversary's work factor to penetrate critical systems.

•Recently, as a Fellow of the University of Southern California Information Assurance Program, and as a lecturer at USC, he co-developed and taught major portions of a nine-course Masters of Cyber Security Engineering degree curriculum and is now teaching parts of that curriculum at NM Tech.

•Lyndon’s current interests include researching the basic science, first principle elements that should underlie our future cyber security designs, and applying and teaching these elements for the design of more secure systems.

Blaine Burnham

Blaine W. Burnham, Ph.D. has extensive experience with security systems at NSA, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and at the Idaho National Laboratory.

While at NSA, Dr. Burnham also helped develop the first cyber security graduate level programs in conjunction with major universities.

Later, he developed and taught comprehensive Information Assurance Curricula at Georgia Tech, and at the University of Nebraska.

Recently, as a Professor of Practice at the University of Southern California, he co-developed and taught major portions of a nine-course Masters of Cyber Security Engineering degree curriculum and is now teaching parts of that curriculum at NM Tech.
