Drew Van DurenDrew 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 ital 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.
