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 in Socorro, NM.
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.
